Request to change my password
-
I received an email requesting to change my password. It reads as follows:
Someone has requested a password reset for the following account:
Site Name: Thinking on Scripture
Username: thinkingonscripture
If this was a mistake, ignore this email and nothing will happen.
To reset your password, visit the following address:
This password reset request originated from the IP address 113.111.83.8
Should I be concerned? Or just ignore it? My password is strong, and I have twos-step verification. Please advise.

I received the exact same thing for my website thewindowshade.com
What is the course of action? Do we ignore it?

I received the same. Would love to know what’s going on with this and how to prevent losing my account to whomever this is!

I got the same! Last night at 11:41 pm Central in USA. I just rest my password as a precaution.
