  Someone (not me) has attempted to change my password. Is there any way to determine who or what IP address was used in the attempts?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi, when did you get notification of the reset? We don’t see recent activity along these lines on your account.

  Hi, and thanks “supernovia” for your response.
  There was no actual reset… there were two text messages sent to my phone…
  “Please use the code blahblahblah to reset your wordpress.com password. If you did not request your password to be reset ignore this message.”

  This implies to me that someone attempted twice to change my password and didn’t know about the text confirmation. My question is… Is there any way to determine an IP address where the “lost/forgotten password” link was activated?

  Hmm, well, while we wouldn’t be able to share logs, I would be happy to dig into this a bit for you. Can you paste the exact message you received?

  Also, if you’re concerned, it wouldn’t hurt to go ahead and change the password here.
