2-STEP VERIFICATION WHEN LOGGING IN
For two factor authentication, I check "Don't ask me again on this device." However, each time I log in, I have to use my cell phone to go through the 2-Step Verification. Why is this? Why even have the check box for "Don’t ask again on this device?"
I'm running W10 Home, Version 1909, with 64Bit Operating System, x64-based processor.

- using "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" to clear cookies keeps cookies with an allow exception
in 102+ version toggling this setting makes changes to the "Clear history when Firefox closes" settings and those settings prevail - using "Clear history when Firefox closes" in Firefox 102+ honors exceptions and keeps cookies with an allow exception, previous versions removed all cookies
Make sure to keep the "Site settings".
- clearing "Site settings" clears exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and software installation and exceptions for passwords and other website specific data
