Hello. Yesterday, I started scheduling my cron jobs on the grid with the `--release
buster` option (previously was defaulting to Stretch). I have gotten dozens of
"Someone (probably you) recently logged in to your account from a new device"
notifications since then. Can I do anything to stop this other than disable those
notifications altogether?
My guess is that you are seeing this because your jobs are now running
on a new set of Cloud VPS instances (the Toolforge Buster grid engine
exec nodes) and these new instances have IP addresses that the wikis
have not seen you use before. I would expect the alerts to stop once
your jobs have been scheduled and executed from each of the available
Buster exec nodes.
I am not aware of any way to preemptively tell MediaWiki something
like "I expect my account to connect from this range of IPs", but
maybe someone else knows a trick?
