  Hi all, I'm not too sure what to make of this.
I just turned my computer on today, opened my browser (chrome with tabs open
including bricklink tabs which I was signed into upon closing my browser) and
I got an email from bricklink (blservice@bricklink.com) with the one time code
thing just wondering if this could be cause for alarm, or I think its more
likely a random occurance or something similar.
I think it was sent due to me opening my browser with bricklink tabs open, or
could it be something to do with BLS manager (I only got it a few days ago to
see if i can use it to download my Brick Owl store orders to Brickstore).
I'm hoping its not a sign of a security issue.

Hi,

The one time code depends on “your machine” and is only valid for a month.
“Your machine” is identified by several supposedly invariable data (I don’t know
what BL is using).  If you used another browes, or if the cookies were deleted,
or if the month is out, then you need a new OTC.  Updating your OS and/or your
browser may also change the identity of “your machine.”

Some people have deactivated the OTC because they were asked for it too often
(the identifying data isn’t ‘invariable’ enough in their cases).
