 * I just got an email from [wordpress@localhost.home](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-email-1/wordpress@localhost.home?output_format=md)
   saying congratulations your new wordpress site has been set up at localhost:8888.
   It also shows my username and password? The password is actually displayed in
   the email. This password is used on my local system but not my external system
   but I am wondering where this email came from. Should I be concerned about being
   hacked?
 * Thanks
 * BTW, my local copy runs on MAC OS X 10.8.5 with MAMP so I am not sure how I got
   the email or why I got it.

 * That email seems to have been sent from your local install.

 * Thanks, I was hoping that was the case but when I first saw it pop up, I was 
   not sure what to make of it. It had a sent date of October 15th which is about
   when I installed it on the MAC OS. I had been using WAMP on the Windows 7 side
   of Macbook since I am new to Mac and I still have a couple of programs that have
   to run on Windows. So I just moved my WAMP files from the HP Windows Vista laptop
   to the MAC side and used WAMP for a while. I think the email must have moved 
   into the spam folder or maybe that is where it went on the 15th and it was reminding
   me of it. I don’t know but I was not expecting it since I had not messed with
   it in the last few days. I have now deleted the email since I don’t need it.
 * Thank you for the response.
