Founded in 2007 by David Karp, Tumblr is a microblogging and social networking site that allows users to post blog and multimedia content. Being able to access your Tumblr account helps you keep your content current. If you are a current user and have forgotten your password, or you are returning to the platform after an absence and cannot access your account, you'll need to reset your Tumblr password. How do you reset your Tumblr password? You can get information and assistance from Tumblr user support here, and below are the steps you can take to reset your password.
