GitHub login requires email code - 2FA is disabled (remote device does not happen)

[user456-ux]

Very annoying, from my home PC only, every time I login to GitHub I have to open email and locate the 2FA code.
Logging in from another device like work PC, the UID & PWD is all that is required.

Since I have already disabled 2MF under "Password and authentication" e.g. Two-factor authentication is not enabled yet.
I should not be asked ever time to enter a code especially form my home device.

How to disable this annoyance ?

Hey! That does sound frustrating
Even if 2FA is disabled, GitHub sometimes still sends a verification code to your email as an extra security check — especially if:
You're logging in from a new device or location (IP address changes)
You're using private/incognito mode or your browser clears cookies/session data
You're not selecting “Remember me” during login
To reduce this:
-> Make sure cookies are enabled in your browser
->Check “Remember me” on the login screen
-> Avoid clearing cookies/session data too often on that home device
Unfortunately, there's no official way to completely disable these verification emails — it's GitHub's way of protecting your account when things look slightly different.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for the super quick reply. Yes, I use multiple Chrome browser extensions to block cookies/Ads/Trackers etc.
Not to mention my I use DuckDuck as my google home page which blocks even more stuff.

Sounds like I created this issue. I will except the inconvenience since "blocking trackers" is more important to me.

You're very welcome!
And yep — that definitely explains it. Those privacy-focused tools are doing their job well, which sometimes means GitHub sees each login as “new” and triggers the extra email verification.
Totally fair trade-off if blocking trackers is your priority — respect for keeping your setup secure and private!
Let me know if you ever run into anything else.

I am in desperate need of customer service and have been directed to the forums as a means of getting that resolved.
I am being charged by GitHub and would like to know from what account and for what service.
It has not been clear where specifically to go for help.
I am a paying customer, and have been so since March, but haven't been able to find an account with GitHub for any of my active emails.
Please direct me to the correct place to either post or preferably speak to someone about billing.
Thanks
