What does "Remember this device" do, and when is the code asked again?

Remember a device

On the Two-step sign-in page, tick Remember this device (it shows the number of days) before you type the last digit of your code. Do not tick it on a shared computer.

We e-mail you when a device is remembered.

"Keep me signed in on this device" on the sign-in page is something else: it keeps you signed in after you close the browser. When it brings you back, the two-step code is still asked unless the device is remembered.

When the code is skipped

The remembered browser skips the code while:

• it is the same browser on the same system (browser updates do not matter),
• you are signing in from a matching place (by default the same country; SEOmise can set a stricter or looser rule), and
• the remembered period has not run out.

When the code is asked again

• The remembered period has ended.
• You switched browser or system. The page says your browser changed.
• You are somewhere else. The page says your network changed.
• You changed or reset your password, or recovered your account.
• You pressed Sign out everywhere, or Sign out of all other sessions on another device.
• You pressed Revoke trust or Remove device under Where you're signed in.
• You turned two-step sign-in off.
• This browser's cookies were cleared.

A password reset or change always asks for the code: a remembered device never skips it there.

Remembering devices may be switched off for some accounts, such as SEOmise staff. The page then does not offer it.
