One of the biggest problems that we can run into when having an account is that we forget the password, it has happened to all of us at least once in our lives. And it is nothing to write home about having a different password for each account, in fact it is the most recommended.
But the more accounts, the more passwords and sometimes it is difficult to remember them all, especially if we are one of the people who manage many different sites. It gets even more complicated if those sites are demanding when it comes to choosing the number and type of characters for your password. For this reason, at the end of this article we will also give you some tips so that it does not happen to you again.
Depending on the site or application in which we are, recovering the password in case it is forgotten can be a simple task or a real headache. There are even those who prefer to open a new account instead of recovering the key or even changing their Uber password.
But that is not the case with Uber, if you have forgotten your password and want to change it without losing your account, you will be happy to know that it is not complicated at all. In fact, it won’t take more than a few minutes. Sure, maybe you haven’t forgotten your password and just want to change it routinely, if that’s the case this article is also for you.
How to change Uber password
As is logical, to start doing it we must have the application open (or enter the Uber website if we are from the PC). The first thing we must do if we have the session open is to close it, for this we go to the menu and click on settings. By doing so, it will take us to the beginning, where we will indicate that we forgot the password by clicking on the option below and it indicates so.
As with any other account, when changing our password we must provide verification. In this case, the email linked to the Uber account will be requested. They will immediately send you an email to reset your password, so you must enter your email to validate it.
The email will take us to another tab to finally enter the new password. In the same way that it is done from the application, it can also be done from the PC on the web page. This way of changing the password is the manual and most common method of doing it.
How to change your password using Uber Help
However, there is also the option to enter Uber help to contact Uber directly. As indicated, they are here to help you, so you just have to go to their website and look for the guide. The way to change the password by this means varies, depending on whether you are a user or a delivery / driver.
If you are a user, you only have to enter the “Users” option and then “Account and payment options”. There will appear a text of a few paragraphs where you will be indicated the procedures that you must follow and finally, at the bottom of it will appear the option “Forgot my password” with an arrow to the side.
By clicking on this option, a pop-up tab will appear on the Uber page where you can directly change your password, following the same steps mentioned before. But if the case is that you have changed your phone, you can easily recover your Uber account.
If you are a driver or delivery person, it is practically the same procedure, with the difference that when you are in Uber Help you must enter “Drivers and delivery people” instead of users. The “Account and payment” option also appears there, being there the rest is as I explained before, if you follow these steps you will be able to recover your password in less than 5 minutes.
The good side is that if it happens again you know what to do and how to do it, but anyway How can you prevent it from happening again?. Each person uses different methods to remember the passwords, such as writing them down in an agenda, either virtual or physical. There are even those who install a password manager program, so that it remembers for them.
And just like that you have everything under control again, just like at the beginning. Now you can continue using Uber without problems and enjoying the excellent service provided by this new application.
