I would also like to add my segwit addresses bc1qarr0w42t3z7xtrcgwxh6kcckzq47tme5xfnj4n & 3ArrowUume9L1VwP8GDWJgxN4U1vDp4TwS. But when I signed them and self-verified it in Brainwallet, I was not able to verify them. So I am leaving them be.

Someone, please quote and archive

You can't create a signed message with blockchain.com using the "default" wallet addresses (ie. ones that are generated by the blockchain.com HD wallet)... but if you have an imported private key/address you can:

If you click the "Settings" icon in the top right corner and select "Wallet and Addresses:



Then "Imported Bitcoin Addresses" and import one:



Once it has been imported, you can select "More Options" -> "Sign Message":



You can simply enter your message and click "Sign" (you'll be prompted for your 2nd password if you have one):



And then you'll get the digital signature:

As the others have stated, unless you know what you're doing... importing private keys can be a security risk, as you can potentially expose your private key. You are better off using a different desktop wallet like Electrum or Bitcoin^[1] or a hardware wallet etc.


[1] NOTE: you don't have to download the full blockchain to be able to sign/verify messages with Bitcoin Core. So depending on your requirements, you might be able to use this if you're just wanting to stake an address that you don't intend to use for anything other than potential account recovery or proof of identity.

However, if you want to also use the staked address for transactions, then you will need to download the 260+gigs of blockchain!!

The only way is to import a private key into blockchain.com's web wallet, but that's not a very safe option.  It's best to use hardware or desktop wallet for added security.

It is not safe to use a web wallet, better use a desktop or hardware wallet. Electrum could be a good choice for the desktop wallet as suggested by shasan.

However, if you still want to use blockchain and also want to sign message from there then you need to import an address to blockchain; only imported address can be signed.

Now you cant sign using blockchain.com
you may use electrum.

Quoted but bear in mind that it is safer to post and have a quotation of your address, the massage and verification of it.
Just to be sure you will be able to do it in the future, in case it will be needed. You can find everything on how to do this here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-sign-a-message-990345
