The Bluehost and WordPress integration is honestly clunky. On Bluehost it suggests competing products for SEO management however does not explain the differences between them.

Sometimes I can log in and sometimes I can't with the same password. Not sure what is going on. Also im having trouble with my imap and smtp address. My other email accounts aren't allowing me to add emails from new website because the password only works 10% of the time.

I've had trouble logging into my account. I needed to work with a customer service rep on the Chatbot who eventually gave me a new cryptic username that I need to use to login from now on. This isn't reflected in my Setting/privacy page so I just need to keep this cryptic login now in order to view my account. Seems weird and not very user friendly
