Stop or Disable Apple ID Email Notification for Signing on Different Device

I have many devices to sign onto my email. Each time I use a different device, Apple send me an email like this.

Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud via a web browser

Date and Time: September 26, 2014, 1:15 PM EDT

If you recently signed in to iCloud using a web browser, you can disregard this email.

If you have not signed in to iCloud recently and believe someone may have accessed your account, you should reset your password at My Apple ID (https://appleid.apple.com).

Apple Support

Can't I just verify that I use these other devices and web browsers and disable this feature? Or is there away to just stop getting these? How do I do this or who do I call? It also happens when I look for my phone (Find My Iphone App) to see if I left it at the office or grocery store or somewhere else. HELP!

iPhone 4S, iOS 8

Thanks so much. What about if you are constantly logged in on your phone and go out of internet service will it log out? Thats fab about the pc thanks so much for all your help you are a star 🙂

As long as you have a lock code on your device, it will prevent the emails. It is the act of unlocking the device that does it.

I signed into my Apple ID on my MacBook Pro, used Find My iPhone, to locate my phone, and got an email telling me that my Apple ID had been used to sign into Find My iPhone.

What do you mean by "log in"? Do you have a Lock Code on your device?

Well that's just weird. I log onto iCloud regularly from my Mac - just did right now - and I never get emails. From an iOS device, yes.

What browser are you using? I'm using Firefox.

I can agree with GB when you first sign in on a mac it sends an email but after that no matter how many times you log in it doesn't send an email thank goodness.

Using Safari, and I have pass codes on all of other devices, too. Weird!

Does your wife's device use a different Apple ID than yours? Do you sign out of Find My iPhone app before you close it?
