Hi,
I’m new to creating websites, and recently used Dreamhost’s one click install to use wordpress, hosting with Dreamhost. I discovered I was automatically allocated a wordpress username for the admin page, and was able to set a password with my email.
However, I tried to use this same login information to log into [wordpress.org]), to which they are saying my username does not exist. Why is this the case?
Thank you so much for the help!

Your website is a LOCAL install on dreamhost. User accounts are specific there for YOUR site.
[WordPress.org]) has it’s own userbase. You have to create an account with THEIR site separately.
[Wordpress.org]) accounts are simply for the forums on that site. It is unrelated to your website. You should always log into your site via yourdomain.com/wp-admin/
