  What has happened recently to my blog? I used to start to type my password to limit who reads my blog and it would fill in the rest after the first letter. Also, why do I have to type my own password to read my own blog. I didn’t previously have to do that to read mine, or others I read every day.

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

  Hey, Ron. Have you recently cleared your browser’s cookies or cache? Are you logged in to WordPress.com before you try to read your own blog? Are you the sole administrator of your blog?

  Cheers,

  Hi Brian:
  The answer is NO, NO and YES. How do I clear my browser’s cookies or cache?

  Okay. Well, being logged in to your WordPress.com account when you try to read your own blog would probably prevent you from having to type in your password every time. As for the auto-complete issue, clearing your cookies and cache might have caused the problem, but since you didn’t do that, I’m guessing it’s something else.

  If you’re using Chrome, go to Settings, then Advanced Settings. Scroll down to “Passwords and Forms” and see if those two boxes are checked. If not, then that might explain why you are having to type in your whole password, instead of just the first letter.

  It is a good idea to clear out your cache periodically.
