  Hello!

  No. WordPress requires a username and a password before editing can take place. The only thing users can do is follow your blog, like your posts, and add comments (if you allow them).

  If you are concerned about security can you set-up 2-step authentication, or make your blog private, or turn off commenting.

  To turn off comments: https://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-and-disable-comments-for-published-posts-and-pages/

  2-step: https://en.support.wordpress.com/security/two-step-authentication/

  Make private: https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  Note: If you make your blog public (ie non-private) it is open for anyone to view and follow.
