  Hello,

  I don’t remember logging in with any email link in the past 2 days, but this is the notification I received, ‘Heads up! Someone logged into your account with an E-mail login link.’ I just changed my password. Should I be worried?

  Thanks

  Hi there!

  I had a look at your account and I can see a login via a link from 7 days ago. Are you sure the notification was about this WordPress.com account?

  If someone logged in with an email link, it means that they have access to your email address – you should change the password there as well.
  For more security, I’d suggest enabling two-factor authentication on both your email account and on WordPress.com:
