  Lost my email account, (email visible only to moderators and staff). Can’t change it to a different one I’ve had for a while–(email visible only to moderators and staff), because the log-in page says someone is already using the new address. I am. It’s my address.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi!! We had to redact your email address from the title, sorry. We don’t want spammers to get it.

  It seems you have more than one account here with us. If you want to use the same email address on both, try adding +something before the @gmail.com part. That can be +otheraccount, +1, +anything — it doesn’t really matter. Google will treat it as the same address, but we’ll see it as a different email address.

  Another option, if you prefer, is to log into the other account, change that email to something else, confirm it, then update this account.

  I just think the alias option is easiest. Hoping this helps!
