  I haven’t used wordpress in years but just got a random email, and it looks legit.

  Hi –

  If you did not request the new password then the email can be ignored. I will suggest that you update both your email password and your WordPress.com password to be unique and strong. It’s best practiced to enable 2 factor authorization on both of these accounts as well.

  See here:

  Enable Two-Step Authentication
