Your Uber account links your saved cards, your home and work addresses, and a history of everywhere you have been — a lot to lose if someone breaks in. Keeping it secure starts with a strong password and two-factor authentication. Our GetMyPassword team covers how to change your Uber password, reset it when you are locked out, and protect the account and the data behind it.
Change your password in settings
- Open the Uber app or riders.uber.com and sign in.
- Go to Account, then Security (or Settings).
- Select Change password and enter your current one.
- Type a new password and save.
If you sign in with Google or Apple, Uber has no separate password — manage your login through that provider instead.
Reset a forgotten password
On the sign-in screen tap Forgot password? and enter the email or phone on your account. Uber sends a reset link or code; follow it to set a new password. You may be asked to confirm a code sent to your phone, so keep that number current and under your control.
Turn on two-factor authentication
Uber supports two-factor authentication, which adds a one-time code on top of your password. Turn it on in Security settings so a stolen password alone cannot get in. It is worth it: a hijacked Uber account can rack up rides on your saved card and expose your travel history to a stranger.
An Uber account is a map of your life — home, work, and every trip in between — attached to a payment card. That is exactly why it deserves a unique password and a second factor, not the same login you use everywhere.
Secure it with a unique password
Give Uber a password you use nowhere else, created with our password generator, and store it in a password manager. Combined with two-factor authentication and a habit of ignoring “your account is suspended” phishing texts, this keeps your rides, your cards and your whereabouts private.
