  All of a sudden my blog is making people log in with an email address to make a comment. I have checked the settings a bunch of times to no avail. As far as I know the authors have not made any changes to our settings.

  We’ve recently updated our commenting system. Now, if someone tries to comment with an email address that’s attached to a WordPress.com account, they’ll need to sign into WordPress.com before they can comment.

  If commenters have forgotten their password they can request a reset:
  http://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  If someone tries to comment with an email that’s not tied to a WordPress.com account, they won’t need to sign up for an account (unless you’ve enabled this option at Settings -> Discussion).
