Steps to reproduce

I just login through the web vault

Expected behaviour

Receiving an email only the first time i login through the same browser, not every day.
Also, there's no option to disable mail for this kind of event.

Actual behaviour

I receive an email every day even if it's the same browser on the same computer. Cache has not been cleaned up.

This most of the time has to do with browser settings or some extension which provides more privacy.

I suggest to try an other browser (without any extensions) and try that for two days in a row.
