Anyone else gotten the "change your password" advisory in admin section of blog?

    I got the request yesterday to change my password, too. Along with a 15% discount after changing it. I wrote the code down for later use. Hope it isn’t a spam. I have seen one instance where I can’t get my Comment Prompt to say what I want it to say since this change. Everything else looks and works ok.

    redstarthockey.wordpress.com is no longer available.

    The authors have deleted this blog.

    You should start a new thread for that issue and also put a link to the blog in question.

    Same problem here. I’m located in the Netherlands. I’ve changed password and some time later the same request to change it appeared on my homepage on wordpress.com… There are two links in the message: one leads to the store and the other to the settings page. If this is a way of advertising it’s a very aggressive one. (I can hardly believe they do such!) The only question I have is: is it still save and secure?

    I have received the email and I want to delete my account because my password was compromised. However the site states that accounts cannot be deleted, only the site.
    How can I contact the site admin to demand the deletion of my account?

    Yes, the email is from us, it is safe to click the link to reset your password, and please feel free to use the coupon.

    The notice may appear in your Dashboard more than once, we’re working on that, but you’ll only need to reset your password once.

    masfebe, at this time we cannot delete accounts, but you’re welcome to modify or clear out your profile information.

    I got that, too.

    Maybe we should use 15% discount a month later, to make sure that it is not spam. During now to that time, if it is really spam, WP should tell us something.
