  Why do I keep getting this message (following) and having to re- sign in so often? Is my account safe?

  Error message as follow; ‘You are being asked to login because ***********@email.com is used by an account you are not logged into now.’

  I have 4 blogs with wordpress, I can move across 4 blogs without signing in and out. I believe these are under one account. So how could my account name / email address be used by ‘another account’?

  I appreciate your help. Thank you.

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

  I am also getting the same message. I have a couple of blogs, and a unique WP IDs for each of them (as well having all the IDs with privileges on each blog). I logged out of one account, to use another account to comment, but I got the same message, wanting me to log back into the other account before it would leave the comment – and nor could I use this screen to re-enter the desired ID information. This is crazy.

  This is the URL attempting to comment that it gets bounced to (for simplicity, changing the IDs/blog names to something easier to follow):
  https://%5BBLOG2%5D.wordpress.com/wp-comments-post.php

  On the left, above a sign in set, which cannot be altered to the account I want to comment with (which is ACCOUNT2):
  You’re trying to publish a comment as [ACCOUNT1]. You need to log in to that account before you can proceed.

  Then, on the righthandside:
  You are being asked to login because [ACCOUNT1] is used by an account you are not logged into now.

  There was an autocorrect on the URL, so I will break it up, because square brackets not allowed

  https:// [BLOG2] .wordpress.com/wp-comments-post.php

  Thank you, davesquirrel, for your response.

  I am guessing it is not assumed that all comments are automatically sent using the main account/ name of the main blog. So 1. we need to log out of blog we most recently wrote from, 2. re-log-in using to the main account, then 3. write a comment. Is this how things work? It makes sense in a way.

  Also, thank you for providing a method to comment from the ‘blog 2’. I’ll give it a go.

  Cheers!
