MailChimp account is using the login() API method which will be disabled

Hi,

I received this email from Mailchimp this morning.

Your MailChimp account is using the login() API method which will be disabled in the near future. Basically it means your web site or other application is programatically accessing your account behind the scenes – in the most common (and simple) cases many folks are using this for some sort of subscribe/signup form for their list.

This means code you are relying on will most likely stop working – in the mean time, your code will start running slower and slower.

I’m using WordPress 3.2.1 and eStore 3.9.6.

Any idea what’s going on here?

Thanks,

Michelle

p.s. The email is much longer than this, and if you’d like to see the whole thing I’ll be happy to post it.

Hi,

This change is affecting ALL mailchimp accounts not only just yours – so don’t worry

The thing you need to do is simply change the authentication method to use “API key” instead of login using username and password.
