Signing into Uber.in with your phone number or email
To sign into Uber in India, open the Uber app or go to uber.in in your web browser. You will see a login screen asking for your phone number or email address. Enter the number or email linked to your account, then tap or click "Continue."
Uber will send a one-time code to your phone via SMS or to your email inbox, depending on which method you chose. This code is usually four to six digits. Enter it in the box that appears on your screen within the time limit shown — typically five to ten minutes. Once you enter the correct code, you will be logged in.
If you do not receive the code, check your spam or junk folder if you used email. If you used your phone number, make sure it is the same number registered to your account. You can request a new code by tapping "Resend code" on the login screen.
Key Takeaways
- Log in at uber.in or through the Uber app using the phone number or email address on your account.
- Uber sends a one-time code by SMS or email that you must enter within five to ten minutes.
- If the code does not arrive, check your spam folder or request a new code from the login screen.
- If you forgot which phone number or email is on your account, use the "Trouble signing in?" link to recover your account.
- Your password is not used for Uber.in login in India — only the one-time code method is available.
What to do if you cannot receive the one-time code
If SMS codes are not reaching your phone, the problem is usually a network delay or a phone number mismatch. Wait a few minutes and request the code again. If your phone number has changed since you created your account, you will need to update it before you can log in.
To update your phone number, go to uber.in and select "Trouble signing in?" at the bottom of the login screen. Uber will ask you to verify your identity using your email address or a previous phone number on file. Once verified, you can change your phone number and then log in with the new one.
If you no longer have access to the email or phone number on your account, contact Uber support through the app or website. You will need to provide proof of identity — usually a government ID photo — to regain access.
Recovering a forgotten or locked account
If you have forgotten which email or phone number is on your account, or if your account is locked after multiple failed login attempts, tap "Trouble signing in?" on the login screen. Uber will walk you through recovery steps based on the information you can provide.
You may be asked to enter a phone number, email, or the name on your account. Uber will then send a recovery code to a verified contact method. This process usually takes a few minutes. If you cannot remember any details tied to your account, you may need to create a new account instead.
Logging in on a shared or public device
If you are logging in on a phone or computer that is not yours, do not save your password or let the device remember your login. Always log out completely when you are finished — do not just close the app or browser.
To log out, open the Uber app, go to the menu (usually three horizontal lines), scroll to the bottom, and tap "Log out." On the web version at uber.in, click your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Log out." This removes your account information from that device.
Two-factor security and account protection
Uber does not currently offer optional two-factor authentication on Uber.in in India beyond the one-time code sent during login. The one-time code itself is your main security layer — it changes each time you log in, so even if someone knows your phone number or email, they cannot access your account without receiving that code.
To keep your account secure, do not share your one-time codes with anyone, including Uber staff. Uber employees will never ask for your code. If someone contacts you claiming to be from Uber and asking for a code, do not give it to them — this is a common fraud method.
If you believe your account has been hacked or used without your permission, change your phone number or email address immediately through the account recovery process, then contact Uber support to report the issue.
Logging in from different devices
You can log into your Uber account on as many devices as you want — phone, tablet, or computer. Each device will ask for a one-time code when you log in. You do not need to log out of one device before logging in on another.
However, if you log in on a device you do not recognize or do not use regularly, Uber may ask additional security questions or send a verification code to confirm it is really you. This is a safety measure to prevent unauthorized access. Answer the questions or enter the code to complete login.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I enter the wrong one-time code?
If you enter an incorrect code, the login screen will show an error message. You can request a new code by tapping "Resend code." You have a limited number of attempts before the system locks you out temporarily for security reasons. If locked out, wait a few minutes and try again.
Can I log in with a password instead of a one-time code?
No. Uber.in in India uses only one-time codes sent by SMS or email for login. There is no password option. This method is more secure because codes expire quickly and are unique to each login attempt.
Why does Uber ask me to verify my identity after I log in?
Uber may ask you to verify additional information the first time you log in on a new device or from a new location. This is a security check. You will be asked to confirm your phone number, email, or answer a security question. This usually takes less than a minute.
What happens if I do not log out on a shared device?
Anyone with access to that device can open the Uber app and see your account, ride history, saved addresses, and payment methods. Always log out when finished, especially on phones or computers that other people use. Logging out removes all your account data from that device.
Can I log in if my phone number is not verified?
Your phone number must be verified to receive one-time codes. When you first created your account, Uber sent a code to that number. If you never verified it, you will not be able to log in. Use the account recovery process to update your phone number to one you can access now.
