  When I try to log into my WP sites, the wrong user name appears. Also I received email messages that this incorrect user wanted to change my password, but as I didn’t recognise the user name I ignored them.

  You created this account bronzcreative yourself on Aug 23, 2024 about 7 months ago.

  The solution is very simple: log out from current account and log in using your other username.

  I have a similar problem. I can login with the displayed user name (not me), but I cannot access the admin dashboard for my .com address that was bought and paid for 2 days ago because it says that with that user name, I don’t have the privilege to access the admin dashboard. I can’t login with any other credentials.

  By the way, I did not choose the user name that is displayed here. I have no idea where it came from. But, it is problematic.

  The same for you: you created that username dreamlandperfecta23da8dcad yourself only 23 hours ago.

  Just log out from current and log in again to your other account. If you can’t remember your credentials, you must use the Transaction ID to restore access as described at https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/?_gl=1*f3s26m*_gcl_au*MTk2ODMyMTY1NC4xNzM3OTYwMjUy#verify-your-account-ownership
