Your Instacart account links your saved card, your delivery address and your order history in one place. If someone gets in, they can place grocery orders on your card and see where you live, so the login is worth protecting. Our GetMyPassword team explains how to change your Instacart password, reset it when you are locked out, and keep the account secure.
Change your password in account settings
- Sign in at instacart.com or in the Instacart app.
- Open your Account, then settings or your profile.
- Find the password option and choose to change it.
- Enter your current password, then a strong new one, and save.
Choose a long password you do not use anywhere else, so a leak on another site cannot reach your Instacart account or your card.
Reset a forgotten password
On the sign-in page choose Forgot password? and enter your email. Instacart sends a reset link; open it and create a new password. Keep your email account secure, because anyone who controls it can reset your Instacart login too.
Protect your card and address
Your account stores a saved payment card and your home address, both worth guarding. Turn on any two-step verification Instacart offers, and watch for phishing: messages about a “delivery problem,” a “refund” or an “order you did not place,” pushing you to log in through a link, are a common trick. Open the app yourself instead of tapping links in texts or emails.
A delivery account quietly holds both your card and your front door. A unique password and a wary eye on “delivery” and “refund” messages keep both of them yours.
Lock it down with a generated password
Create a long, random password for Instacart with our password generator and keep it in a password manager. With two-step verification and the habit of never logging in through links, your card, address and orders stay protected.
