More on this a little later. For now, let's talk about this interesting message. It is clear that the creators of the social network care about our safety. But sometimes such an unsolicited option is simply annoying. But it’s not that simple. In order to understand the VKontakte protection mechanism, you need to understand in what cases such an inscription appears and what can be done with it.

This will help. If using a VPN, disable it, connect directly and restart your browser. This should help. The use of anonymizers can also negatively affect such a thing as VKontakte security checks. How to remove it in this case? It’s very simple - do not use anonymizers and other devices. However, the above methods may not work if this very check is tightly written into the system.

How to remove the VKontakte security check when logging in if the window that appears says that someone entered the password incorrectly a number of times? Everything is more complicated here. Standard methods won't help. You can, of course, try to clear the “Hosts” file, but this will be of little use. The easiest way is to enter your phone number, receive an SMS message and enter the verification code in the appropriate window. After this, when you log in again, the window will no longer appear.
