Not Receiving "Lost Password" Email

    Hello, I am the owner of an account here at wordpress.com, and about a month ago I received an email telling me that my account/username had been inserted in a list of compromised accounts published by researchers. If I wanted to recover my account, I should use the “lost your password?” functionality, and this is what I have done these last days. The problem, however, is that I am not receiving any email at all, and I am not able to recover my account. I checked every folder in my mailbox, including spam, archive and deleted, but even after 24 hours I did not get any email at all.

    I tried using the account recover tool which I found at https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery but I cannot proceed because I don’t have, unfortunately, any proof of ownership since I registered at this site years and years ago and the activation email has been deleted. So I ask here if there is any possibility to recover my account / receive the “lost your password” email. The account username is Dvdxseo, and this is an account I created just for posting in these forums.

    Thank you.

    Hi ifuseekdavider,

    Do you still have the email we sent you about the password reset? If so, it would be great if you could reply to us there so we can take a closer look at the account.

    Come back to me if you no longer have access to that email.
