Recover blog
-
This blog belongs to me. I created it when I was a teenager, but I’m not sure what email or login I used. How can I recover access? I’d really hate to lose it.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Step 1 — Try every email address you remember
Think back to what email accounts you had when you created the blog. Common ones people forget:
- An old school or university email
- An early Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo account
- A family email you may have used at the time
For each one, go to wordpress.com/lost-password and enter the email. If WordPress.com has it on file, a reset link will be sent there immediately.
Step 2 — Try logging in with a username
If you remember any username you used back then, go to wordpress.com/log-in and try logging in with the username instead of an email, WordPress.com supports both.
Step 3 — Check old devices
If you have access to an old phone, tablet, or laptop you used as a teenager, check if any browser has saved login credentials for WordPress.com, sometimes old passwords are stored there without you realising.
Step 4 — Contact WordPress.com support directly
If none of the above works, this is your best path forward. Go to wordpress.com/help/contact and explain:
- The blog URL: enletraalta.wordpress.com
- That you created it as a teenager and no longer remember the email
- Any details that prove ownership, the approximate year you created it, what the blog was about, any post titles or content you remember
The support team can perform a manual account review. The more specific details you can provide about the blog’s content, the stronger your case for ownership.
