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.
To access a Postmates account that you are signed out of, or sign in using another mobile phone, have your iPhone or Android device at the ready.

How to sign into your Postmates account using your phone number
1. Launch the Postmates app on your iPhone or Android device, and select "Get Started" at the bottom of the welcome screen. If you see a page showing you what restaurants you can order from on Postmates, you're already logged in, and don't need to worry.
2. When prompted, enter the phone number associated with your Postmates account.
3. You will then receive a text message at that number, with a four-digit code to access your account. Enter it in the text boxes.
Once the code is accepted, you'll be logged in, and can order delivery or pick-up using the Postmates app.
