Description

After logging in to a new device I get a few prompts for verification:

  • On my mobile device
  • On my home computer
  • On my work computer
  • On my laptop
  • etc...

Even if I accept the new device on my android phone, I'm still plagued with prompts on every single device after that. It would be greatly appreciated if this was less in my face every time.

Version information

  • Platform: web (in-browser)
  • Browser: Chrome 62
  • OS: Windows 10
  • URL: riot.im/develop

in practice, the cross-signing approach doesn't cause so many aggravating noises and alarm bells, so can be easily ignored on other (unused) devices.
