A: This is a security feature which prevents hackers from asking for your ID and password and getting it.
Google assumes that: A blog owner will always maintain an active email address for his blog.
Bloggers assume that: Google will maintain a record of their ID and password on the servers, this info is readily available to anyone who asks for it politely or simply yell: "help" real loud or that threatening to leave Blogger and going to WordPress would help in some way.
All these assumptions are wrong!

They are just a polite way of reminding bloggers that it is their responsibility to maintain an active email address and remembering their ID and password.
Bloggers: I am leaving and going to WordPress!
Google: goodbye!
Stalemate!
