  Do you want to change just the email address or the username as well?

  I use an email address as my sign in, then my password. That email address is going to be invalid so I want to change it to my current email address – I assumed my email address and user name were identical.

  You have two separate email address settings at WordPress.com.

  Blog notifications for the admin (like comment moderation, Likes, new subscriptions, etc) are sent to the email address at Settings -> General in the Dashboard.

  Personal notifications (like comments on your posts, subscription emails, and upgrade renewals) are sent to the email address at Users -> Personal Settings in the Dashboard.
