This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is unable to log in to their WPML account using an email and password because their account is linked to their Google account.
Solution:
We recommend the following steps to switch from Google sign-in to email and password login:
1. Log in with Google at https://account.wpml.org
2. On the Profile Page, scroll to Account Linkage
3. Click "Disconnect"
4. Log out
5. Log in using email + password
6. If the password is forgotten, use the Forgot Password option.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, please check the related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. We highly recommend opening a new support ticket if the problem persists. You can do so at WPML support forum.

Hi there,
Thank you for contacting us

Your WPML account is currently linked to your Google account. For this reason, you should log in using the social sign-in option, specifically “Continue with Google.”

When an account is created or accessed through Google sign-in, no separate WPML password is generated. As a result, there is no password available to reset.

If you prefer to log in with an email and password instead, please let us know and we will be happy to guide you through the available options.

Regards,
Carlos
