Your Expedia account holds your trips, your saved cards and your travel documents, so losing control of it can cost real money and ruin a holiday. A strong password and two-factor authentication keep it locked down. Our GetMyPassword team covers how to change your Expedia password, reset it when you are locked out, and avoid the travel scams that target bookers.
Change your password in account settings
- Sign in at expedia.com and open your Account.
- Go to Sign-in and security settings.
- Select Password and choose to change it.
- Enter your current password, then the new one, and save.
If you sign in with Google, Apple or Facebook, there is no separate Expedia password — manage your login through that provider instead.
Reset a forgotten password
On the sign-in page click Forgot password? and enter your email. Expedia sends a reset link; open it and create a new password. Because the reset goes to your inbox, keeping your email account secure is what ultimately protects your Expedia access and your trips.
Watch for travel-booking scams
Travel accounts attract a familiar scam: an email or text about a “problem with your booking” or a “payment that failed,” with a link to a fake login or payment page. Expedia will not ask you to re-enter card details through a link in a message. When in doubt, open the app or type the address yourself and check your trips there.
The most convincing travel scams arrive right when you are expecting a confirmation. A real booking problem is solved by logging in yourself — never by following an urgent link that wants your card again.
Secure it with a unique password and 2FA
Give Expedia a password you use nowhere else, created with our password generator, and turn on two-factor authentication in your security settings. With a unique login and a habit of ignoring urgent payment links, your trips and your cards stay protected.
Frequently asked questions
How do I change my Expedia password if I forgot it?
On the sign-in page click “Forgot password?”, enter your email, and follow the reset link Expedia sends. You need access to that email account to complete the reset.
Is the email about my Expedia booking problem real?
Be cautious. Scammers send fake “booking problem” or “payment failed” messages with links to lookalike pages. Verify by logging in to Expedia directly rather than clicking the link, and never re-enter card details through a message.
How do I keep my Expedia account secure?
Use a unique, strong password, enable two-factor authentication, keep your email secure, and verify any booking or payment messages by logging in directly instead of following links.
