A couple of days ago i was verifying my password manager program just to make sure it’s up to date with my latest accounts. Next thing i know i get on the login page of famous StumbleUpon. I try to log in with my username and password but guess what? after i typed my info in the login fields and hit the glossy button that says “Sign in” the page refreshes and nothing happens. Oh well, it must be some kind of maintenance problem i’ve said to myself. It’s to be mentioned that i was trying to log in with an incorrect username NOT with my email address nor userid, the password was correct though. At least a message that says “Incorrect username or password, please try again” should appear, right ? just to let people know they’ve inputed an incorrect login info.
Finally, after many attempts i decided to hit the “Forgot your password?” link. After a few minutes an email arrived with my new password although i was expecting an email containing a confirmation link (just to avoid the unpleasent situations, of course). Very well, i went back on the login page and this time i used my email address and the new password they gave me. As many other people want to do, the first thing after their password has been reset is to change it to something more custom. Here comes the bomb: i spent like 10 minutes searching everywhere in my account info a hint to where is the “Change password” form located. Surprise ! such form doesn’t exist at StumbleUpon. Probably they consider that’s unnecesarry.
The other day i was trying to make sure the source of this problem isn’t me or something like this. But guess what? After i double checked the fact that StumbleUpon doesn’t have a “Change Password” form i realised that they don’t have a “Logout” button or at least some kind of link that says so. Freakin’ wonderful. So, to log out i had to delete my cookies from received from website.
Another interesting fact i observed after i managed to log in with my email address and close the browser (FF 2.0.0.11) a few times is that StumbleUpon’s home page needs a few refresh hits to detect your cookies and to display the member page. Between the refreshes i observed the page doesn’t have the “Login” link in the top right corner as it has when you acces their page the very first time.
Probably if no one notifies itself i will send an email to the support department at StumbleUpon, as a good friend of mine suggested.

you can logout of su from the toolbar and change password in the toolbar. its in the tools menu on the end of the bar.
But yeah i have had problems with trying to log in to stumble upon after one of my friends was logged in on my pc. And i only just realised there was a change password button in the tools menu when i went to find the sign out thing.
hope i helped.
