Security Code Deactivation

Every time i'm singing into my dropbox account with my laptop at home, i get an email with a security code.
My idea is to develop the opportunity to deactivate this option or to adjust this function, that this code is really only sent when you're using a device you haven't used before.

account access
security

    That option exists and should already happen. However, if your not allowing cookies, or, deleting them upon closing the browser Dropbox wont be able to know you have used it before.
