Password Related Glitch

    So, I have the mobile version of WordPress on my iPhone. I’m logged on and never log out.

    I recently changed my password from my laptop with success. But I find that despite changing my password I’m still able to post using my mobile app (which I never logged out of and never had to reenter my new password).

    I figured that if someone else is logged on to my account via their mobile device, they would still be able to access my private and public blogs despite my best effort to practice good e-security habits since this issue exist. There’s nothing taboo in my blog, in fact it’s rather boring, but if a different user was trying to keep their information private, this glitch may be a problem.

    Thanks!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    I’m not sure that should be considered a glitch. If you never logged out, you must have logged in. If you logged in, you had the necessary password at that time you logged in. There may be a certain amount of time allowed before being prompted to provide the new password.

    I figured that if someone else is logged on to my account via their mobile device…

    So you have multiple users on your account?
