  I logged in using my Apple account, and now I’m unable to log back in to make edits to my website. It appears it signed me in through a private relay email address ((email visible only to moderators and staff)), and I’m not sure how to proceed or verify ownership from here.

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

  The best way to regain access is to find the Apple Relay Email associated with your site and use it to bridge the gap. You can find this by going to your iPhone/Mac Settings > Apple ID > Password & Security > Apps Using Apple ID > WordPress. Once you see that @privaterelay.appleid.com address, you can use it as the username on the WordPress.com login screen. Any password reset emails sent to that address will be automatically forwarded by Apple to your real inbox. Once you’re back in, I highly recommend going to Account Settings and updating the email address to your actual primary email so you aren’t reliant on the relay for future edits.
