For instance, I am signing into a website and it requires send a SMS to my cell phone or an email. I check the box that this is my personal private computer, not a public computer and request that subsequent uses of this website not ask for a security email or SMS. Not time I use it, it still requests.

Anyway that I can avoid this?
