Don't panic its not a security risk, just an anomaly.

if you try to change your password in a standard Wordpress installation (i.e. your website) you will be presented with the following:

If you try to do this with a site created by WA you will get this:

This all came to pass because I tried to change my password in the normal way outside of SiteRubix after clicking "Lost your password" and I found out that you can't do it.

I spent a happy few minutes panicking, thinking that I couldn't change my password but now it makes sense. If your site was created within SiteRubix the password can only be changed within SiteRubix, other wise the synchronization would be out of wack.

I am not sure what happens to a site that has been imported to SiteRubix.

So this is just a cautionary tale of what to do when changing passwords.
