New username in sign in drop down box
-
I found a new usersname of brackets symbols ‘[]’ listed in my sign in box. Does this mean somebody has gotten access to my blog?
-
Hi,
Could you elaborate a bit on that?
What is the URL of your blog, and where exactly do you see those symbols? -
The symbols are cached on a separate line from my username and offered when I start to type my username. I don’t know whether it’s cached by my browser or from my logins by WordPress. I can clear the cache and see if anything returns; but I’m concerned.

Your site is not hosted with WordPress.com. It is a site using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but hosted with Bluehost.
Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely separate entities, we cannot access files or data for sites that are hosted elsewhere, so WordPress.com staff can only assist with sites that are hosted on our servers. You can find more information here about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/
https://wordpress.org/support/ is a great resource for sites using the open source WordPress.org software, and you can find support for that at: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
Your hosting provider’s support team may also be able to assist.
