To protect your account we email you a 6-digit code when signing in on a new device or in a new browser. On the same device the code is then skipped for up to 30 days (technically necessary cookie; after an email change it’s required again). Switching between accounts in the same browser does not trigger a new code as long as the device is trusted for that account.
During registration the one-time email code is enough – afterwards you’re signed in on that device without immediately needing another login code.
