  I’m new here… I need to view my DNS info but can’t remember the links to get there.

  Hi there,

  You can add or edit your DNS by logging in to your account’s Dashboard and then going to Store >> Domains >> Edit DNS, or just click here:

  https://pfaoro.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains&action=dnsedit&domain=petefaoro.com

  Let me know if you need anything else!

  That page doesn’t display my current registration; it only allows me to enter new information, which I’m totally incompetent to do. I was, however, able to get the information at <http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-helper/&gt; by re-validating my domain.

  A

  second

  problem has cropped up that has me seriously concerned: Somehow or other I found my way to <https://idp.securepaynet.net/login.aspx?SPKey=SPMYAEB03&myaurl=%2fdefault.aspx&prog_id=391143&isc=&gt; where I think I can also view the DNS info and manage payment settings (Yes?) The page requires [1] Customer # or Login Name, [2] Password, and [3] security code but I’m hitting another wall:

  I know my Customer # and Login Name and Password because I only use two or three logins or passwords

  anyplace

  but I haven’t a clue what my security code might be so I can’t get in. I must have created that information when I set up the blog or when I purchased the domain but the page has no place to create new access info and I can’t find my original records (Grrrr).

  I’m concerned that I may have locked myself out by so many failed attempts to get in and won’t get a reminder that my domain is due to expire.

  I’m afraid I’m new at this and have caused my own problems by trying to do too much, too soon. Sorry to be a bother.

  If you so desire, you can modify your nameservers to point towards another host rather than WordPress.com. That would be the only reason for most people to need to log in to that account. You can read about the proper way to log in right here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-management/

  I will reach out to get the account unlocked, but please note that you can cause irreparable damage to your domain within that system, so please tread with care if you do choose to log in there.

  In the mean time, any renewal notifications, etc, will come from our system so you will still get them.

  Hi there,

  I’ve gotten confirmation that your domain account is not currently locked. So all you’ll need to do is make sure that you reset your password by following the instructions located here:
