  HI WordPress reps. This is just an FYI. I linked my blog to various accounts including Google. This morning, Google complained to me about WordPress: ‘Your account is vulnerable to malicious activity because you’re allowing apps & devices that use less secure sign-in technology to access your account. You should turn off this type of access.’ I thguht you should know.

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

  I’ve never had any trouble with WordPress and WordPress catches spam very well too. Just thought smeone would want to know what Google said. Thanks

  Hi katerauner,

  I linked my blog to various accounts including Google.

  The only Google connection on your account is for Publicize but it doesn’t sound like the warning is related to that.

  This morning, Google complained to me about WordPress

  The error message doesn’t mention WordPress specifically, can you tell me why you think this error message is directly related to that?

  
  @timethief — thanks for adding the SSL information.
