I have an account for years. I have a blog for years. I never changed my password and yet I can’t log in to my account. I am crisuadi.wordpress.com. My user name is crisuadi , my email is (email visible only to moderators and staff) and my password is [redacted]. Why can’t I log in and you ask for a new password?

Hi there,
This is a public forum. You should never share an account password with anyone, least of all in a public venue. I’m guessing you’ve also been using this password for accounts on other services, as we recently reset the password on your WordPress.com account after we found the same email address and password combination that you use on WordPress.com was compromised in a breach on another service some time ago.
You can type your email and password into https://haveibeenpwned.com/ as just one place to see past breaches where your login details might have been compromised.
If you still have access to the email address you used for that account you can request a password reset link at https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword which will allow you to log back in and set a new password. You will not be able to re-use your old password, and I suggest you make sure to select a unique password this time to prevent this from happening again.
