Title: Disabling Email Authorization for a blockchain account
Post by: echozzi on May 19, 2020, 05:51:07 PM
Hello!

I have recently been playing around the blockchain's basic and advanced settings but I can't seem to find a column to disable email authorization. I'm having issues interfacing with my wallet through an api because of this.

Thanks.

I don't think you can disable e-mails but you can use an IP whitelist, which is located in the Security Center, to bypass the authentication. You should have seen that option. Is there any reason why you don't want to use it?

Can you tell us if what is your purpose on using their API?
Are you creating a payment gateway? Or you are using it for receiving and sending Bitcoin through API (https://www.blockchain.com/api/blockchain_wallet_api)?

If it's only related to your wallet and you are using Bitcoin wallet API. The above is right whitelisting your IP will solve your issue according to this Blockchain Advanced Security (https://support.blockchain.com/hc/en-us/articles/210929703-Advanced-Security-).

But if it's related to payment gateway I suggest you try other services instead to make your own payment gateway.
Btcpayserver (https://btcpayserver.org/) is a self-hosted and one of the well-known payment processors where you can make your own payment gateway. It's totally free and you have full control of your wallet.

Other payment processors can be found from this link below.

You can enable 2FA (2-Factor Authentication) through SMS, that way they will not send any emails in every log-in attempts.
But, they will send 2FA codes to your number instead  :P

AFAIK, there's no option to disable email authentication without enabling 2FA.

Why don't you consider using a better wallet instead?
I know this email are very annoying, and as you are "playing around" why don't you install Electrum (electrum.org)? It has many more features for you to play around, as blockchain.com lacks many features.

It won't bother you anymore with emails and your coins will be much safer.

I am only using the blockchain wallet API to interface with my wallet.
