Why do they even put the option there if it doesn’t do anything?

    It’s dependant on cookies. If whatever you checked that on deletes its cookies it can’t remember the “device”. The wording is all wrong but I guess they have to do that because plebs don’t know that this is running in a browser.

      I’m pretty sure they only remember the last device you use, so if you login with a phone and then on a desktop, you’ll have to enter a code on the phone next time you log in.

    I think this is like that “close door” button in the elevator and the pedestrian “press for crosswalk” button. It doesn’t do shit.

      Depending on the intersection crosswalk buttons do actually do something. Some lights use pressure plates to tell when cars are waiting for them and wont change unless they are, so those ones need the button to tell when a pedestrian is waiting at the intersection.

    One of my work systems is like this. What’s even better is that not only does it log you out randomly, it also doesn’t reload the screen so you don’t know you’re logged out until you try to use it.
