change account picture

I am trying to change my account picture (gravatar). When I click on the link to change gravatar it takes me to this page which requires making a wordpress account or coding experience. This used to be easy.

Re: change account picture

From the descriptive text on the relevant (forum) profile page, it appears that the user's avatar image is "connected with their email address" - which some might not be able to tolerate, since it more or less removes the pseudo-anonymity of forum accounts (and makes the concept of user names pointless, I'd imagine).

Regards,

Re: change account picture

You probably already have your e-mail account associated with Gravatar/Wordpress, maybe try to use "Lost password" function: https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
And then try again to log in ("Sign In") to Gravatar with your new password, using your e-mail address as your login.
