Required WordPress/Gravatar "Authorization" to edit Gravatar image?

  I have in the past blogged using WordPress, which is why I have a WordPress account.

  I am an active user of Github, which is why I have a Gravatar (long time ago).

  Now I was looking into changing my Gravatar image, but am (was) faced with a screen asking me to “authorize” the connection between my Gravatar and WordPress accounts. Of course I click “No” (or whatever the button said), but nothing happened. Clicking it several times, nothing happens.

  Then I clicked the Authorize by mistake. And it was a mistake. Something happened though and I’m redirected to my Gravatar page.

  But I never wanted to “authorize” the connection between the two accounts. It’s ridiculous – why would I need to connect two (hopefully disjoint) user accounts in order to use the services provided when I have one of the accounts?

  I haven’t used WordPress in a while, so most likely something changed that I’m not aware of, but I’d really like to roll back the authorization – it was not intentional, and I believe it’s unnecessary.

  Does anyone know how to do this? Or if this is possible at all?

  Thanks
