If you see the notice which says, "Please try to log in using your WordPress.com username instead of email address," you must use your username to log in and not your email address.

I used my username and it worked. Will see however as I had problems this morning, this afternoon and this evening signing in!!!

Is it because I opened a second WP blog in the last few days?

I cleared the cache (a million times) I enabled cookies and I was still NOT able to log in.

However - username worked. Hope this issue gets resolved.

Don't know why logging in using my email address failed after using this method for several weeks.

In case you don't know, the WordPress username is the bit that comes before WordPress.com in your blog address. For example, the username for MyBlog.Wordpress.com is MyBlog.

That's a relief!

But, when I want to connect, I have this message : Please try to log in using your WordPress.com username instead of email address.
I have always been connected to the blog using my gmail email adress. I have no idea what is my WordPress.com username.
The gmail.com address is my only admin access to the blog. How can I do ?
Thank you
