How do I log out from Gravatar?

    I have a couple of Gravatar accounts through different email addresses which I change between depending on the type of forum or whatever I’m signing up for. I just signed into one account to change the image and signed out when I’d done, then immediately decided to double-check what images were available on one of my lesser-used accounts so I clicked “Sign In” again but, rather than being asked for a username and password, I was just logged back into the account I had only just signed out from.

    I have tried refreshing, hard refreshing and clearing my cookies – nothing worked. I’d rather not clear my entire cache as that is an inconvenience considering how many websites I am signed into at any one time – not to mention this is a huge security flaw in Gravatar rather than an issue with my browsing habits.

    I have a screen recording of this happening, but I don’t currently posses any video editing software capable of blurring out select parts of the screen for a set number of frames. I’m going to hunt something down now and I’ll link to the video once I’ve got it uploaded somewhere.

    Thanks in advance guys!

    This was also driving me nuts.

    I stumbled on to this:

    – log out of Gravatar
    – visit WordPress.com, and sign in there with the alternate email
    – while still logged-in, (new tab) go back to Gravatar, and now attempt a sign-in

    In my case, it picked up my new login from the other (desired) email account.

    Odd that Gravatar is so tenacious, though (I even deleted cookies, etc.), and there is no option to “sign in to different account” (such as Skype, Google, etc. etc.) offer.
