I finally learned how to change my default Stumbleupon password. I think the Stumpbleupon user account page sux!
Anyway, I googled for how to change stumbleupon password and followed a link to Yahoo answer which points you to StumbleUpon Help page!
Here’s my version of a Simple 3-Step Guide on How To Change Stumbleupon Password:
1. Go download the StumbleUpon Toolbar
2. Install toolbar and look for the Tools drop-down menu
3. Select Change Passwords…
I also created a Squidoo on How to Change StumbleUpon Password.

Yay! I’ve been looking forever! THANK YOU!
Thanks alot!
Thanks a lot for this tip
Yes, it should be on their website!
Life saver. At least… the rest of my day… Big thank you.
THANKS!!!
i had the toolbar, so i guess i didn’t search properly (but it should’ve been on the website!) xD
THANKS SOOO MUCH!
I’ve been a user of stumbleupon for like 3 or 4 years now and had to memorize their sucky password for so long. FINALLY I KNOW!!
note to stumbleupon: make it more VISIBLE!
Many Thanks!
Thanks, now I can go on with my day!
Of course why oh why is it not in the preferences area.
yep, you’re my hero. thanks for this info!
It’s bad design indeed. One of the cool things about stumbleupon is that your things are not stored on your computer. This means that you can log in on another computer (say, a friend’s) to show him a page you liked. You are not likely to remember your password (because the toolbar just remembers it), so you will need to request a new one. So far, so good. After having reset the pw and logged in, I want to change it to something that I can remember. I cannot do this on my friend’s computer if he won’t let me install the toolbar.
What if I was at a public library, or at work and I could not install the toolbar at all?
It’s not a train-smash, but still it’s shoddy thinking on StumbleUpon’s part.
Lousy place to put the “change password” functionality. Must be a way for them to get people to install the toolbar. But since they don’t publicize how to do it, I think it is just bad design.
Thank you for this.
Thank you very much. They really should put this under “preferences” on your StumbleUpon page, don’t you think?
Oh so that’s how you do it.
Thanks for the tip. In the toolbar,.. whooda thot. Usability tip for stumble team: how about in the “account preferences” area too,like every other damn website on earth…
Thanks, you kept my misery down to 5 minutes (I’d hidden the stumble toolbar). I think you’re number 1 for this search on google now, as your site popped right up!
