    I have registered digerleri.wordpress.com years ago with a different email. No I forget the mail and username of WP.

    Is it possible to send only the username or mail address of my digerleri.wordpress.com account?

    Hello!

    WordPress has a process to recover accounts.
    See here:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/

    If you have lost everything you may be able to recover the account by using proof of ownership information such as:

    Transaction ID: A transaction ID is a unique transaction ID generated by PayPal, our payment processor. If you purchased an upgrade on the blog in question — via PayPal, credit card, or another method — you can retrieve a transaction ID by logging in to your PayPal account or locating a past WordPress.com receipt sent to your email address.
    Activation URL: When you created your WordPress.com account, we sent an activation link to your email address that you were required to click. If the email you received included a confirmation button instead of a link, you can copy the activation URL by right-clicking on the button and selecting “Copy Link Address” (this text may be vary slightly depending on your browser).

    This is the form to use to recover your account:
    https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery

    If you are unable to validate the account, for security reasons, WordPress may not be able to assist.

    well I have a Activation URL but it’s in the email inbox which I try to learn the address.

    I just want to remember which email address I gave to wordpress for this account.

    Just a thought:

    Are you able to contact the email company to see if you cannot use their account recovery process? Which email is it? yahoo? gmail?

    it’s gmail. But the thing is I don’t remember the username. It’s like

    (email visible only to moderators and staff) I am after this “something”. If I know that what email address that I had given to wordpress.com while I was registering digerleri.wordpress.com account, all the problems will be solved. Because I have only one password for all my mails so I will recover my wordpress password after logging into gmail.

    If you tied your gmail email address to a phone number or a recovery email address you may be able to resurrect it:

    Username Recovery: https://www.google.com/accounts/recovery/forgotusername

    Also, if you were invited to gmail you may be able to use the invitation to verify the account:

    If you can’t remember your username, follow these steps to retrieve it:

    Visit the Gmail username-recovery page.
    Choose to recover your username using either the backup email address or phone number you listed when signing up for Gmail.
    Enter the name on the account.
    Type the letters in the distorted picture and click Submit.
    We’ll send you a list of usernames associated with the email or phone number you entered. If you entered a:
    Recovery email: A list of any usernames associated with that email address will be sent to it.
    Recovery phone number: We’ll send a verification code to that phone via text or call. Enter the code and click Continue. We’ll show you the usernames associated with that phone number on the next page.

    If you didn’t enter an alternate email address when you created your Gmail address, but you were invited to Gmail, you may be able to retrieve your username by clicking the link in your Gmail invitation.

    it was 2009. there was no such things back then. Don’t you have a secret question/answer pair to give me at least my email address? I don’t want any password or something. Just my email address or wp username?

    For security reasons WordPress does not give out passwords and account info without verification. However, in case there is something more WordPress can do, I will tag this thread for a staff follow-up. =)

    In the meantime while we wait for staff fill out the account recovery form for WordPress and consider filling out the account recovery form for Gmail (if you can)

    WordPress: https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery
    Gmail: https://www.google.com/accounts/recovery/forgotusername

    well, as I said I had registered this account on 2010, probably email account has the same age. there was no integration of google accounts and even there was this mail account was only for my wordpress account. that’s why I forgot about it.
