Almost every time(not multiple logins same day) I try to log in to Facebook I get a message saying my webbrowser(device) is unrecognized. Then I get a sms with a password to login which works fine. In FB I have multiple login-devices and I try to delete them all except for the latest one.

Hello,

It sounds like you enabled Login Approvals on Facebook, and also either use Private Browsing or regularly clear your cookies.

Try taking a look at Extra Security Features | Facebook Help Centre under Login Approvals "I have to enter a code every time I log in."
