  I was walking my client through a staging process and sent her a WP link with more information. She told me she clicked the ‘site list’ link within that article and I later noticed that the link she clicked logged her into my account and sent her to my site list. What happened here and how can I avoid this dangerous mishap in the future?

  Hi there!

  If they clicked on the “Site list” link within the documentation here: https://wordpress.com/support/how-to-create-a-staging-site/ and it showed your sites on their end, they would be logged into the account already.

  If you do want your client to have their own separate WordPress.com account, they can create an account and then you can invite their account to the site as a user: https://wordpress.com/support/invite-people/

  To protect your account, I’d recommend setting up Two-Step Authentication and resetting your password.
