  I used an old email to create the blog so I didn’t receive the log in link sent to my registered email (it has been deactivated). I have stayed sign in and signed in via saved password for so long that I didn’t know WordPress has changed the log in method via link like this. To recover my account, WordPress requires to have proof of ownership which I can’t get access to.

  The only I have in hand is another email I have added to be another admin of my own blog. I have proof of admin invitation.

  Is there any way I can log in back to my blog’s owner account? Thank you for your support.

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

  Hi,

  Needing access to a login link sent to your email address is not normal. At least not unless you changed the password or the email address, or some other irregularity has generated it. Typically, login requires only either the username and password, or the email address and password. If those options fail for you then let us know here, and add a “modlook” tag to the sidebar at right to call for staff attention.
