wtf tumblr?

Tumblr forcibly logged me out, and refuses to let me log in via a webbrowser unless I change my password. Though it doesn't seem to have any problem to let me log into my account via the Android app.

Admittedly I haven't changed my password in a while, but still this is obnoxious behavior, in particular since they did not bother to sent me an email or such to explain or alert me to anything.

Could also be that your account wasn't affected, either because you joined later or changed your password already since the security issue. (I hadn't changed mine in ages.) I've read somewhere it was something that happened in 2013 before Yahoo took over only they just noticed it now.

Ah, that's possible, I changed it only a few months ago.
