Your Uber password is the key that unlocks your account — and with it may be Uber Cash, information on past travel, links to other financial tools like PayPal or a credit card, and plenty of other data you'd rather keep to yourself. 

So if you ever have reason to believe your Uber account isn't secure because your password is weak or you gave it to someone else, go ahead and change the password. 

If you've forgotten your password, you can reset it on Uber's website by entering the email address associated with your account and following the password-reset link that Uber sends to you in an email.
