This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is experiencing unauthorized use of their account and is concerned that someone may have access to their WPML key, resulting in charges for services on another website.
Solution:
We assured the client that unauthorized access to their website cannot be obtained through the WPML key. We recommended checking if the unauthorized user is listed as a WordPress user and removing them following this documentation: How to Add and Remove WordPress Users.
Additionally, we advised ensuring that the user is not listed as a translator in WPML and provided steps to remove them if they are, using this guide: How to Set Up Local Translators and Language Pairs.
We also suggested the following steps:
1. Navigate to WPML -> Support -> Troubleshooting.
2. Click on 'Synchronize translators and translation managers with ATE'.
This action should remove the unauthorized email from the translator list.
If this solution does not seem relevant or if the problem persists, please open a new support ticket with us.

Someone is using my account i dont succeed to find how to block it. Since a few month we re paying for other website. I think when we took someone to translate our website and gave access to WP he did something, maybe he has the key of our WPML. Its urgent because we pay each month.
I attached a screen shot where we can see the mail of "webchillyx@gmaiol.com" How i can delete it completely. Maybe the guy succed in enabled his email. On WP we re just 2 to have full access. I really think its out of WP, more on WPML directly by using our WPML key
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards Pierre

Hi,

Thank you for contacting WPML support!

An unauthorized access to your website cannot be obtained through WPML key. Is this user indeed here?

If so, can you remove it? Also, make sure to remove this user as a translator if they are added:

Can you try the following:
- WPML - > Support -> Troubleshooting:
-- Synchronize translators and translation managers with ATE

Does it remove webchillyx@gmail.com from the translator list?

That user was added as a translator as some point in the past hence it was visible here, that's all I can say.
