      I get this at several sites, but not all and I have logged from this device before. "It looks like you are logging in from an unrecognized device. For security, we need to verify your identity."

        @rosey123 Are you using the VPN by chance?

          @leocg Yes I am. One of the reasons I chose Opera.

            @rosey123 Then, that's the cause.

              I have disable the VPN closed and restarted the browser but it still happen. Could anything else be causing this? Also, I like the security of the VPN can anything be done about this so I can continue to use the VPN?

                @rosey123 Did you clean cookies and cache? If you start accessing those sites without the VPN, I guess the warnings will decrease.

                You would need to contact the sites since it's something that only they can answer.

                And by the way, a VPN doesn't necessarily gives you extra security. It's something more for privacy.
