Yes. Shiny new! There’s a lot of sites where the owner, set in settings->general, is long gone and no one sees important notices that the site might mail out.
Really? I gotta be honest, this new login sequence with this “is this your current email address” had me presuming my site had been hacked! Is there more documentation about this that you can point us to?
Not useful to me – I use a dedicated admin e-mail address on my client websites for plugin and security updates.
This new feature has clients confused when they log-in and asking if they should change the e-mail address to their own.
Hopefully there will be some way of bypassing this feature for those who don’t need it.
I have been told by someone on the plugins team that at least one plugin has been submitted to let you manage this, but it’s not yet published.
A plugin will be handy – I’m not worried about my own sites but if a client misreads the verification request and changes the admin e-mail address for their site it would cause me some problems.
