  Hi there!

  I do not see any recent logins via email link, do you mean that you received the link to login to your account even though you didn’t ask for it? If that’s the case, probably someone misspelled their email address and sent the link to the wrong account. To log into your account with a link, they would need to have access to your email.
  If you think someone might have gotten unauthorized access to your inbox, I’d suggest you change your password on both email and WordPress.com (and on any site you’ve used the same password).

  I also recommend enabling the two factor authentication as explained here:
