    Something changed my SFTP/SSH user and password

    I've been using the same user/password for months to upload documents to my site.

     

    Out of the blue my user name and password seemed to change and now I can't even SSH anymore.

     

    Even more bizzare I am seeing:

     

    ssh p9qbXXXX11639@XXXXsolutions.com
    p9qbXXXX11639@XXXXsolutions.com's password:
    Creating directory '/home/p9qbXXXX11639'.
    Connection to XXXXsolutions.com closed

    Is this on Managed WordPress or another GoDaddy platform - I know specifically in managed wordpress you can toggle the SSH on and off / although SFTP should still work
