How to enable 2FA on Uber

← Uber overview Supported

Enable two-factor authentication on Uber to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, Uber asks for a rotating code from MS Authenticator App in addition to your password.

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to Uber and open your Uber account security settings.
2
Turn on two-factor authentication and choose the authenticator-app option.
Look for "Authenticator app", "Authentication app", or "TOTP" rather than SMS.
3
Scan the QR code with MS Authenticator App.
Open MS Authenticator App, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code Uber displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.
4
Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.
Type the code MS Authenticator App generates to verify and link your Uber account.
5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes Uber gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.

Menu names on Uber can change — the official Uber 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
