Problem. WP thinks I'm using a phone to publish? I don't!

    Hello,
    I am very concerned about that there might be a security issue with my blog because of this!
    # 1, Why do I keep getting a >>> “Tighten your account’s security: Two-step authentication is now available on WordPress.com.” message when I don’t, and never have posted/published, commented, or anything else with a mobile phone?

    I don’t even have a mobile phone. I only have a plug in the wall phone, and even that’s not cordless.

    #2, This just started recently when the”Tighten your account’s security: Two-step authentication is now available on WordPress.com.” started showing up. After I click publish it takes forever to publish. The thingamajig just keeps twirling. Why is So slow now?

    I do use a lap top but I do not have wireless anything. I must but connected to the cable to be online.

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

    I doubt the “Tighten your account’s security: Two-step authentication is now available on WordPress.com” message has anything to do with whether you’ve done anything with WP on a mobile phone or not.

    It’s just an announcement for a security option that is useful for some people. If it doesn’t apply to you, you can safely ignore it.

    And as such, I’m not sure why #2 happens to you (others might be able to help), but it certainly has nothing to do with the announcement message above.

    hfzrhmn. Thanks!

    I’m not too savvy about techie stuff that’s for sure.

    I’ll wait and see if # 2 clears up by itself, if not, then I’ll have to get help from WP.
    It takes So long to load after I publish and it’s never done that before.

    I wonder if it might have something to to with the new sharing buttons taking longer to load than the old ones.

    Does anyone know if that could be the problem?

    Btw, There was something in my WP reader, from WP news about those new buttons earlier today but it’s gone now.
    Strange!!
