  I just received a warning as I was making a Post. Claiming that it can not be verified that I am linking to http://www.poemsfromherlife.com as I beleived. That if I continue, it could be a third part attack. Last night I signed on with copromote. Could this have been the cause? Secondly, I have a windows phone. How can I ensure my security?
  Thanks kindly

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

  Hi there,

  I haven’t heard of CoPromote causing any warning of this sort. However, the best way to ensure your security is to set up 2-Step Authentication:

  Enable Two-Step Authentication

  Please set this up on all your accounts. I’ve done it, and it really is the best way to ensure your security.

  I looked into your account, and there is no evidence of any attacks. Please rest assured you are fine at the moment.

  Cheers!

  Thank you, Grace!!!!!! Only problem with 2 step, I have a windows phone that you …as of yet….don’t support. I certainly hope that will come in the very near future!
  Thanks for having a look into my account :)
  Have a brilliant weekend (soon)

  (facepalm) – Ah so sorry about that!

  Just for security concerns, I highly recommend changing your password. I try to do this every 6 months or so. It may be a bit overkill, but rather be safe than sorry :)

  You can change it by following these instructions below:

  Passwords

  You can also change your password from the Settings tab on the WordPress.com home page:

  Have a wonderful weekend as well!
