Why can't I change my password in Tumblr?

I can't change my password for Tumblr.?

  • I got a security warning from Tumblr saying there was suspicious behaviour on detected on my account and to keep it safe I should change my password. The email I use to sign in with (a yahoo account) cannot, for some reason, receive emails from anyone but yahoo itself and flickr. I tried everything yahoo's help page in order to receive emails from Tumblr so then I could change my password, but nothing.I can't change the email address I'm registered with on Tumblr to get emails to another address because the security warning just keeps appearing. I don't want to create a new account either, however when I did try the security warning came up again, so I don't know, I'm running out of ideas

  • Answer:

    Can't you just go into your Tumblr settings and change your password there? I really don't know what to do- if your yahoo account wont let you get emails. Why can't you change your email on Tumblr, though? I would think that would work... To just use a different email and try there.

first of all you should make an email account on www.hotmail.com i think its alot better then go to your tumblr preferences which is up top around "dashboard" change the email and on the same prefernces change the password.... if not then theres no need to change ur password what tumblr said doesnt really mean your hacked or anything just watch if you see anything changed or suspicious on you tumblr. best of luck!!!
