Postmates doesn't use passwords for your ordering account, so you can't change your password like you would for other apps.
Instead, you'll log into Postmates using your phone number and a security code.
Postmates lets your phone number act as a sort of password.
Postmates is a delivery app that lets users order food, groceries, and other everyday items directly to their doorstep. The app allows users to store their bank account information for quick use, so keeping your account secure is of the utmost importance.
However, most Postmates accounts do not have passwords. Instead, accounts are connected with a two-factor authentication system that uses the phone number you used to sign up for the app.
