Sign in with your email or phone number
Open the Uber Eats app or go to ubereats.com in your browser. On the login screen, enter the email address or phone number connected to your account. Tap or click "Continue." If you have an existing Uber account (from using Uber rides or Uber Freight), you can use those same login details — Uber Eats shares the same account system.
After you enter your email or phone, Uber will send you a verification code. Check your email inbox or text messages for a six-digit code. Enter it on the next screen within 10 minutes. If you do not see the code, check your spam folder or request a new code.
Once you enter the code correctly, you are logged in. The app or website will take you to your home screen, where you can browse restaurants and place orders.
Key Takeaways
- You can log in with either the email address or phone number registered to your Uber Eats account.
- Uber Eats uses the same account as Uber rides, so if you already have an Uber account, use those credentials.
- A six-digit verification code is sent to your email or phone each time you log in — you have 10 minutes to enter it.
- If you forget your password or cannot find your verification code, you can reset your account through the "Trouble logging in?" link on the login screen.
What to do if you forgot your password
Uber Eats does not use traditional passwords. Instead, it sends a new verification code every time you log in. If you are having trouble receiving codes, first check that the email address or phone number you entered is correct — a typo will prevent the code from reaching you.
If the code is not arriving, tap or click "Trouble logging in?" on the login screen. Uber will ask you to confirm your identity by answering security questions or verifying a payment method on file. After you verify your identity, you can reset your account and receive a new code.
If you no longer have access to the email address or phone number on your account, contact Uber support through the app or website. Go to the menu, select "Help," then "Account and login." A support agent can help you regain access by verifying your identity through other means, such as a payment method or previous order history.
Logging in on different devices
You can log into Uber Eats on your phone, tablet, or computer using the same account. Each device will ask for a verification code when you log in for the first time. After you enter the code, you stay logged in on that device until you manually sign out.
If you log in on a shared device — such as a family tablet or a work computer — sign out when you are done. Go to your account settings, scroll to the bottom, and tap or click "Log out." This prevents someone else from placing orders on your account or seeing your saved addresses and payment methods.
Two-factor authentication and account security
Uber Eats uses verification codes as a form of two-factor authentication. Every login requires both something you know (your email or phone number) and something you have (access to that email inbox or phone). This makes it harder for someone else to log in, even if they know your email address.
To add extra security, go to your account settings and review the phone number and email address on file. Make sure both are current and that you still have access to them. If you see a device or location you do not recognize in your login history, change your password by signing out of all devices and logging back in.
Connecting your Uber Eats account to other services
You can link your Uber Eats account to other apps or services that use Uber's login system. Some third-party apps let you order food without creating a separate account — they use your existing Uber Eats login instead. When you see a "Sign in with Uber" button, tapping it will send a verification code to your registered email or phone, just like a normal login.
Be cautious about which apps you connect to your Uber account. Only link services you trust. You can remove access at any time by going to your Uber account settings, selecting "Connected apps," and choosing "Disconnect" next to the app you want to remove.
Troubleshooting common login problems
If the app keeps asking you to log in even after you entered your code correctly, try closing the app completely and opening it again. On most phones, swipe up from the bottom of the screen (iPhone) or tap the back button repeatedly (Android) to close all open apps. Then reopen Uber Eats.
If you are using an older version of the app, login problems are more common. Open your phone's app store (Apple App Store or Google Play Store), search for Uber Eats, and tap "Update" if an update is available. Updating usually fixes login issues caused by outdated software.
If you are on a computer and the verification code is not appearing, check that your browser is not blocking notifications or emails. Some browsers have privacy settings that can interfere with how Uber sends codes. Try logging in on a different browser or device to see if the problem is specific to that browser.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a separate Uber Eats account if I already use Uber rides?
No. Uber Eats and Uber rides share the same account system. If you already have an Uber account, log into Uber Eats with the same email or phone number. You will see your saved addresses, payment methods, and account history across both services.
Can I log into Uber Eats without a phone number or email?
No. You must have either a phone number or email address registered to your account to log in. Uber uses one of these to send your verification code. If you do not have either, you will need to create a new account with at least one of them.
What happens if I log in from a new location or device?
Uber will send a verification code to your registered email or phone, just as it does for every login. You enter the code, and then you are logged in on that device. There is no waiting period or additional approval — the code is your verification that you own the account.
Can someone log into my account if they know my email address?
They would also need access to your email inbox or phone to receive the verification code. If you are concerned about account security, review your registered email and phone number in account settings. If either one is outdated or compromised, update it right away.
Why does Uber Eats ask for a verification code every time I log in?
The verification code is a security measure that confirms you own the email address or phone number on the account. It prevents unauthorized access even if someone learns your login details. You can stay logged in on a device by not signing out, so you will not need to enter a code every time you open the app on that device.
