It was the Bitcointalk forum that inspired us to create Bitcointalksearch.org - Bitcointalk is an excellent site that should be the default page for anybody dealing in cryptocurrency, since it is a virtual gold-mine of data. However, our experience and user feedback led us create our site; Bitcointalk's search is slow, and difficult to get the results you need, because you need to log in first to find anything useful - furthermore, there are rate limiters for their search functionality.
The aim of our project is to create a faster website that yields more results and faster without having to create an account and eliminate the need to log in - your personal data, therefore, will never be in jeopardy since we are not asking for any of your data and you don't need to provide them to use our site with all of its capabilities.
We created this website with the sole purpose of users being able to search quickly and efficiently in the field of cryptocurrency so they will have access to the latest and most accurate information and thereby assisting the crypto-community at large.
Hi xxxxx,
Thank you for contacting us.
The login Guard triggers whenever a login attempt is done from an unauthorized browser ( a browser that has not been used to log into the account before ).
When the login guard triggers, it sends an email with the verification link, this link should be opened in that same unauthorized browser in order to verify it.
If you receive the Login Guard and you have not made any attempt to access your account from a new browser, that means that someone has managed to figure out your password and trying to access your account from a different browser.
To address this issue, do not open the link in the email sent to you, instead, you need to:
1. Log into your account normally from an authorized browser.
2. Check your Login history to make sure that someone has tried to access your account from the following link. https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile-edit/personal-data/ (you can see the IP address for each login attempt, if you notice a different IP address used only once or twice, thats the login attempt).
3. Go to your account setting and update your password from the following link: https://localbitcoins.com/password_change/
Once you update your password, your account will be safe again, You can learn more about some good security practices from our security guide https://localbitcoins.com/guides/security
Let us know if you have any further questions.

Best regards,
