Someone is trying to reset my password again…
-
Some months ago they tried to reset my password well obviously, this isn’t me trying to reset my account and of course my first thought is that someone is somewhere misspelling his email address or whatever… but now I am getting regular reset requests to my email account and nobody can be so… let us say “clueless” and well I’m not very worried to lose my free account and my free blog but I’m a little upset some tips that can provide some help. Thanks folk.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there. To submit a password reset request someone needs to know your username and/or email address. As long as they don’t have access to your email account they won’t be able to complete the process, but it might be prudent to change your email account’s password at this time, as well as your WordPress.com password. https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/
You might also consider changing your username, and maybe the email address you use for this account as well. Be aware that if you change your username the current one will cease to exist and you won’t be able to change back to it later. The Display name that actually appears when you comment on a blog and as post author on your blog, can be different from your username, so you can keep using your current name in that way.

Good points and I was already thinking about changing passwords but would rather avoid it because it’s not be the first time that I change my username and the email address I use for this account but I think I will not be able to avoid it so thanks for your advice.
Greetings
