Are you offering any type of reward?

Do you still own the computer you first created the wallet on?

Do you own another device you have used previously to log into this wallet?

If so I can help you, I have 7 years of experience in C++ and Reverse Engineering I have also helped several others recover their lost passwords and wallets.

Let me know,

It used to be only for transferring funds (probably since the launch of the blockchain.info?), but for the last few weeks/months, I've been facing it at the login stage as well.
Did this start to happen automatically? I just logged in with an old account and there is no need to input my Additional Password when logging in (only transferring funds).

Yes, this has been happening for a while by default (automatically). I didn't enable it anywhere.

As far as I can guess, this has to do something with my dynamic IP (I've a changing IP address all the time, due to which I've to verify my wallet logins every time first through e-mail and then through this secondary password).

Thank you for your opinion it was helpful and I courageously introduced the password, I logged with succesfully and move the amount with any problems, but it looked like a phishing.

No, most probably, you were NOT on a phishing website. The "Additional Password" (mostly known as Secondary Password) has been present on Blockchain wallet for years; even though you've successfully moved your funds out of that account, I'd still recommend you to keep that Secondary Password pinned to your account (if you've not already done that) and write it down somewhere so that you may not forget it again in future. An additional security layer always helps!
He knows.

But the "Additional Password" is only necessary when you want to move your funds. It shouldn't show up when you're logging in.

I'm quite sure that I'm not on the wrong/fake website:

Block halving is coming.
Hi TryNinja,

I'm sure I use the oficial website , I not use 2FA , I create another wallet and I set the second password to test if asked whent I loggin and not asked the second password when I logged to the new wallet very strange, Only to the old wallet asked me to entering the second password ,and I'm sure I'm on the official website. https://login.blockchain.com/en/#/login

Have you tried to put the same password? Since you are using the correct website I think you are safe to put the password again.

Are you sure that you aren't on a phishing website? I'm not aware of Blockchain asking for your additional password to complete the login (only if you're talking about 2FA).

(just to make sure)
