Recently and when signing into my email, the system persistently prompts me to review my recovery methods, even though I've done it numerous times.

How do I get out of this annoying loop?

    I appreciate all the comments/responses.

    In response to Hornblower409's comment that it's my browser, I did state early on that it made no differene whiat browser I was using or if I was in private mode.

    In response to thesimslover298-36's comment and as Hornblower409 noted above, it's a dup; however, I did already try making some change (and reverting it later) but it made no difference.

    However, the pop-up's have stopped happening consistently and now happens most of the time, instead of all the time. Mabye it will eventually go away, as Javier Luna noted above.
