  What I’ve did before:

  I changed my email address from (email visible only to moderators and staff) to (email visible only to moderators and staff). I tried to add a secondary email for my Gravatar account. But it says that this email address had already bound with another account. I tried to log in with that account, and I get a username “electronichideout705a86075c” (maybe auto generated). I think that isn’t the account I really need, so I deleted it. Now I still can’t add the secondary email using that, and I can’t log in with that account too.

  Jup, I have the same problem. It seems that WordPress is sneakily holding on to your deleted data for longer than they say..

  When youchange an email address, the old email address is locked for 30 days.
