Hi Tom, Doing a Google search for "How can I reset my Uber password" gave me a link to the correct page on their website. If you go to heading level one and then arrow down it will tell you that in order to recover your password you must click the below link, then you enter your email address and an email with reset instructions will be sent to you. I assume that will be an email with a link which you click and you can then enter a new password. I don't know if your email is incorrect throughout the account so that you wouldn't be able to receive said email or if it is just that you have to fix your email for receipt purposes. I'd try it anyways and see what happens. I also Googled "How to contact Uber" and found links which included a contact form, it asked a few "Yes" or "No" questions as to the nature of your request and then had a field to type a message. Here now is the link to the recover password page:
https://help.uber.com/h/24a8fa5a-59b0-49b8-81e9-13e6dff81a1b With respect to finding a phone number, I think many people don't realize that if you do a Google search starting with "Phone number for" followed by what you are looking for you often find the number displayed at the very top of the search results. I am going to give an example below using Plantronics since I had to contact them yesterday. MI bought a Plantronics Voyager Edge bluetooth earpiece in mid April and I can only use it for playback, the microphones seem to be not working any more. This has been going on for months, but I just haven't taken the time to contact them until yesterday. The response by the way was quite satisfactory, the girl I spoke with made me do a reset of the headset to test it again, when it still didn't work at all she sent me an email with a link to initiate a warranty replacement. Anyhow, here is what I typed into Google and below is what Google gave me and it was spot on and the direct number for their customer sevice: Phone number for Plantronics customer service 1 (800) 544-4660 Try this: Phone number for Apple Accessibility support Here it didn't give me the number before all search results, but the third search result contained this without even going into it: Beats support: (800) 442‑4000 (U.S.) or see all worldwide support telephone numbers. If you have a disability, such as a vision, hearing or physical impairment, call (877) 204-3930 for direct access to Apple representatives who are trained in providing support using accessibility services. Google searches are very powerful and are getting more so as time goes by. I can only encourage anybody who is looking for anything to try it. Don't hesitate to use very ordinary language like "I want to know the 5 largest countries in the world by population" which will not list the countries in the search results, but it gives you plenty of articles mostly with the top 10 so it definitely finds what you are looking for.

However, I haven't been getting Uber receipts for quite some time, the reason being that in the app's settings for my account, my e-mail address is incorrect. So I edited the e-mail address and clicked "Save", and it then asked me for a password, which I've forgotten and can't find it written down anywhere. Both in the app and on the Uber web site, their password recovery process is unsatisfactory; in both cases I'm asked for my mobile number, and there's another text entry field which is unlabeled so I don't know what's required. Furthermore, I can't seem to find any support number that I can call. Is there such a thing? What's the easiest way to fix my e-mail address on record and recover my password or set a new one? I'm puzzled by this and just a tad bit annoyed. Thanks in advance.
