Did you recently sign in to Etsy? Turned off notification switch but it's not working.

I keep getting these "Did you recently sign in to Etsy? notification alerts in my emails every time I log in to Etsy. I went to security and turned off my notification switch but I still keep getting notifications in my email. I am obviously doing something wrong or there is a glitch.

Re: Did you recently sign in to Etsy? Turned off notification switch but it's not working.

This happens to me all the time (it's OK I believe anyway).  Always use the same desktop computer, Chrome, Windows 10.  Everything is updated & no extensions.  I clear cache/cookies once or twice a day.
When I Sign Into Etsy, I get  a red banner "an error has occurred".  I Refresh Pg. and I'm in.  (At one point I was getting the Captcha Pg. intermittently.  Haven't had it since June 21).  When I leave Etsy, I first Sign Out of Forum then out of Etsy.  I get an Email (the one you stated): "Did You Recently sign in to Etsy?" (followed by device, browser, OS, City/State, etc.).  And "Disregard this Message if you did".  

When I am IN Etsy > Account > Security (I believe): It shows all my Sign Ins.  Every single one of mine is the same (I never deviate fr. this desktop computer).  And it SHOULD be the same.  If it isn't, someone else has used the computer who shouldn't.  So it's a security check to make certain no one but you has gotten in.  If I see something on that Sign In Page that isn't my computer, browser, OS, etc. I'd want to know. And I'd better not ever see that.

Hope this helps you.

ETA:  Personally I would want that Notification Email (for the purposes I mentioned above).  I just look at it and delete.

Well, I DON'T want the notification every. single. time. I log into Etsy. How to get them to stop?

@StitchesbyAnn   First Etsy asks us not ro resurrect old threads.

Quick answer, go to Account under You.  Select Security.

However this information is vital in forestalling hacking.  If you don't recognize where the log in came from, you may want to invstigate further.  I get it from time to time and don't consider it a problem.  A quick check usually shows everything is fine.  I like that reassurance.

Mine only does it on my phone, when I use my browser, doesn't do it on Desktop or iPad
