How to sign in to Uber on your phone or computer

To log into Uber, open the app or go to uber.com, then enter the phone number or email address linked to your account. Uber will send you a code by text or email — enter that code to confirm your identity and access your account. You do not need to remember a password; Uber uses this code-based system instead.

On a phone, tap the profile icon (usually at the bottom right), then tap "Log in" if you are not already signed in. On a computer, click the profile menu in the top right corner and select "Log in". The process is the same whether you are a rider, driver, or Uber Eats user.

If you have multiple Uber accounts (one for rides and one for deliveries, for example), you can switch between them by tapping your profile icon and selecting "Switch account". You do not need to log out and log back in each time.

Key Takeaways

  • Uber uses a code sent by text or email instead of a password — you enter your phone number or email, then enter the code Uber sends you.
  • The login process is the same on the Uber app, Uber Eats app, and the website.
  • If you have more than one Uber account, you can switch between them without logging out.
  • If you do not receive a login code within a few minutes, check your spam folder or ask Uber to send it again.
  • You can log into Uber on multiple devices at the same time — signing in on one device does not sign you out on another.

What to do if you do not receive a login code

If the code does not arrive within two to three minutes, first check your email spam or text message spam folder — login codes sometimes get filtered there. If you still do not see it, go back to the login screen and tap "Resend code" or "Send code again".

Make sure you entered your phone number or email correctly. A single wrong digit will send the code to the wrong place. If you are not sure which phone number or email is attached to your account, you can try a different one — Uber will tell you whether an account exists for that contact information.

If you have changed your phone number since you created your account, you may not be able to receive texts at your old number. In that case, try logging in with the email address instead, or contact Uber support through the app or website to update your phone number.

Signing in on a new device

When you log into Uber on a device you have never used before, the process is identical — enter your phone number or email, then enter the code Uber sends. Uber does not require you to verify the new device or answer security questions.

You can be logged into Uber on as many devices as you want at the same time. Logging in on your tablet, for example, does not log you out on your phone. This means you can check your ride history or account settings on one device while using the app on another.

Recovering access to a lost or stolen account

If someone else has access to your account, change the phone number or email linked to it as soon as possible. Log in if you still can, go to your account settings, and update your contact information. This prevents anyone else from logging in using the old phone number or email.

If you cannot log in because the account information has already been changed, contact Uber support through the website or through the app on another device. Uber can verify your identity using your name, payment method, or ride history, then help you regain access. Keep any receipts or confirmation emails from past rides — these help Uber confirm you are the account owner.

If your payment method was added to the account without your permission, report it to Uber immediately. Uber can remove unauthorized payment methods and refund charges if they were made after the account was compromised.

Using Uber without logging in

You cannot use Uber to request a ride or place a food order without logging in. However, you can browse Uber's website to see restaurants, prices, and delivery times in your area without an account. You must create and log into an account before you can actually place an order or request a ride.

If you want to use Uber but do not want to create a full account, that is not an option — Uber requires login for all transactions. You will need to provide at least a phone number or email address and accept a login code to proceed.

Signing out of your account

To sign out, open your profile menu and look for a "Log out" or "Sign out" option. On the Uber app, this is usually at the bottom of the profile screen. On the website, it is in the account menu in the top right.

Signing out removes your account from that device, but it does not affect your account on other devices. You will need to log back in the next time you want to use Uber on that device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a password to log into Uber?

No. Uber does not use passwords. Instead, you enter your phone number or email, and Uber sends you a code by text or email. You enter that code to log in. This method is more secure than a password because only someone with access to your phone or email can log in.

Can I log into Uber with my Facebook or Google account?

Uber does not offer login through Facebook or Google. You must log in with the phone number or email address you used when you created your Uber account. If you forgot which email you used, try the phone number instead, or contact Uber support.

What happens if I log into Uber on someone else's phone?

Your account will be logged in on that phone until you sign out. The other person will be able to see your ride history, payment methods, and account settings. Always sign out when you are done using Uber on a shared or borrowed device.

Can I have two Uber accounts with the same phone number?

No. Each phone number or email can only be linked to one Uber account. If you want a separate account, you must use a different phone number or email address. You can switch between accounts on the same device without logging out and back in.

Why does Uber keep asking me to log in again?

Uber may log you out automatically for security reasons, especially if you have not used the app in a long time or if you are on a new device. This is normal. Simply log in again using your phone number or email and the code Uber sends.
