    Do I need to use a plug-in to install a login page for my wordpress site, or does wordpress have one integrated already?

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

    Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address here https://wordpress.com/me/account, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.

    What I post below applies only to sites hosted by wordpress.COM. It does not apply to wordpress.ORG software installs.

    You must be logged in under the exact same username that registered the site to be able to access the site. The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:

    http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

    *Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your blog.

    I recommend bookmarking that link or memorizing it.

    If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies and then login correctly under the relevant username account.

    If the login information has been lost go to
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#lost-password

    If required use the account recovery form
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/

    Recover Your Account

    The WordPress.COM meta widget was removed months ago. Also note that if you wish you can create your own login in a text widget. See here thread/post here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/meta-widget-5?replies=8
    For creating links in a text widget see:
