hi vinny,

your security info alternate email or phone add account. these called 'proofs'. since passwords stolen, we send security code alternate email or phone keep attackers out. since changed security information, can't requires security code since way code not usable. keep @ least 2 security proofs on account , you'll never have problem. own security purposes.
