When choosing which email to use for your Tumblr account, select a real email address that you access regularly. Avoid using school or university emails, work emails, and temporary emails. If you lose access to your registered email address, you’ll lose access to your Tumblr account. If this is the case, you can contact us through the Account Recovery Form.
Note: You will need to be logged into your Tumblr account and know the current password in order to change the registered email address. If you are being required to reset the password on your account, you will not be able to change the registered email address until you’ve reset your account password.
