  When I try to login to my wordpress site (https://picklefactory.in/) wordpress sends a verification email to my Gmail. I did not opt for this option. How do I deactivate this? Thanks.

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

  As I am not clear on what is happening to you and which email address you registered with https://wordpress.com/me/account I will type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question

  Hi there,

  You need to go to your Security page and create a new password. This will disable the “login with email link” option.

  Here’s a direct link to your Security page:

  If this doesn’t work or you have more questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help!

  You’re welcome! Please note that you can still log-in with a link sent to your email by clicking that option on the login screen. Here’s a screenshot:
