How to change the password for your SendGrid account created from Azure

Short Story

Currently the only way is to use the forgot password feature on the SendGrid login page. The reset-password link is delivered to the mailbox associated with your SendGrid account (be sure to set this e-mail in advance).

Long Story

SendGrid is currently one of the few possibilities you have in Azure to send e-mails from your application. If you create your SendGrid account from Azure you can start with a free plan with 25 000 free e-mails per month.

For SendGrid accounts created in Azure there used to be an option for Changing/Resetting your password:

Azure Support’s reply to my question:

Passwords and other secrets associated with Windows Azure Store are managed exclusively by the provider (like Sendgrid). Please request the reset/change of the password directly with SendGrid. Support contact information is almost always found on the provider’s web site main page.

Unfortunately, if you log-in to your SendGrid account created from Azure, the option to “edit” username/password is disabled (they do not have a separate UI for changing the password and they don’t want to allow you to change the username which associates the account with Azure):

Currently the only way to change your password for your SendGrid account created from Azure is to use the “forgot password” feature from SendGrid login page:

Please note that you’ll need to enter the account username (not email address) for this form to work.

The reset-password link is delivered to the mailbox associated with your SendGrid account (be sure to set this e-mail in advance in Account Details).
