Facebook and other sites don't recognize computer as being authenticated

Because of issues with cloning accounts on Facebook and as an extra layer of security for email, I have added authentication for both sites. The sites are supposed to recognize my current browser as authentic once I check the box to remember the browser. With Opera, this doesn't happen. The systems identify it as Google Chrome, and I have to enter the authentication code every single time. I also get repeated email messages that a new browser has logged into my account. The end result is that I get a lot of unnecessary emails, and I can't log into either Facebook or my email unless I have my cell phone with me to look up the authentication code.

@orca17 Would have to have something to do with third-party cookies and tracking - either third-party cookies are disabled or the anti-tracking feature blocks them anyway. You may need to allow both on those sites.

@sgunhouse Thanks. Will try that and see how it works.
