<p>I installed blockchain.info wallet to my mobile device and it is all good, but it says in settings that I have unconfirmed e-mail. OK, I confirmed my e-mail, but now I'd like to know what it will be used for.</p>

<p>I can see 3 options:</p>

<p>AFAIU, it is used for login to the web interface and <a href="https://blockchain.info/wallet/payment-notifications" rel="nofollow noreferrer">notifications</a>. Would like to be sure if I am right about this.</p>

I installed blockchain.info wallet to my mobile device and it is all good, but it says in settings that I have unconfirmed e-mail. OK, I confirmed my e-mail, but now I'd like to know what it will be used for.

I can see 3 options:

1. Notifications
2. MFA
3. Password restoring

AFAIU, it is used for login to the web interface and [notifications](https://blockchain.info/wallet/payment-notifications). Would like to be sure if I am right about this.
