And get an email that says “Your sign in attempt seems a little different than usual…” Is it normal?
Ok, I can’t really assure this has happened everytime but I don’t remember a time when I was logged in straight in with my username and password.

Are you using connecting via VPN/Tor/proxy, when logging into your account? Or are you using incognito every time you login?
I’ve never seen this, but I’m using the two-factor-authentication (2FA).
EDIT: Or are you connecting via mobile network, which might be throwing around it’s IP-addresses, which triggers DigitalOcean’s security system.
I’m also having this situation, I thought this is normal since I’m new here. When I close my browser it will automatically logged out from DO, have to login again each time, and sometimes I have to use verification code, maybe twice a day it asking verification code.
I’m having the same problem. I’ll file a support ticket, but for the sake of those searching the forums for keywords, here is the full text of the messages on the DO login page and in their email messages. This way a search for any piece of text from those messages should pull up this thread.
Here’s the message as it appeared on my browser, from the web page “https://cloud.digitalocean.com/login/verify”.

Your sign in attempt seems a little different than
usual. This could be because you are signing in
from a different device or a different location.
If you are attempting to sign-in, please use the

I logged out, closed the browser, and tried again. Despite a time difference of only a few seconds, I got an identical message on the browser (“Verify it’s you…We’ve sent a verification code…”). A few minutes later, a second e-mail arrived. The second email was identical to the first, except for the six-digit code and these three lines:
Message-Id: <30039865.20191009193644.\

Good luck to those who are also having this problem. Again, I’m handling it by filing a support ticket.
