Why was a notification sent for logging into Kite on a new device?

A notification is sent to the registered email ID and to the current device as soon as the correct password is entered on a new device before the 2FA is entered.

This notification informs the user that their login credentials have been entered on a new device. In case of an unrecognised login, the password must be changed immediately to prevent the account from being compromised.
