How to Change Your Swiggy Password? In 6 Simple Steps

How to

I had to change my password for Swiggy the other day. You can believe me; it was not due to forgetfulness this time, but out of cautionary measures. One installs so many apps on their phone these days. For quick food deliveries, I use Swiggy daily. It has been linked to my card and has saved my favorite restaurants, addresses, and preferences. If someone hacked it, I would be in a tight spot.

Let’s walk through how to change your Swiggy password. I will provide all the steps, few pitfalls to avoid, and even a story of why I think this little habit of updating passwords can help save you from major headaches.

How to Change Your Swiggy Password

Why Change Your Swiggy Password?

First, let’s talk about why this matters. Imagine you’re craving pizza, so you open Swiggy. Suddenly, you notice weird orders from your account—or worse, your saved payment method has been used. It’s rare but not impossible. Hackers target people with weak or reused passwords. And I’ll be honest—I used to reuse passwords until a friend’s Netflix account got hacked. That was my wake-up call.

Change your passwords. Clean your digital house. You won’t leave your door open, right? Same logic applies here.

Steps to Change Your Swiggy Password

1. Open the Swiggy App

Take out your phone and open the Swiggy app. You will see the home screen with options like “Search for restaurants” and your favorite dishes.

Pro tip: Always ensure the app is updated. If you’re using an older version, some features might look different, or worse, might not work.

2. Head to Your Profile Section

In the top-right corner, you’ll notice a tiny circle icon—usually with your initial or profile picture. Tap it to open the menu.

Here, you’ll find options like “Orders,” “Favorites,” and “Settings.”
Select Settings to dive into account-related options.

3. Click on “Account Security” or “Change Password”

Within settings, you’ll locate Account Security or something along those lines. If your app layout is different perhaps Swiggy just did it, scroll around it’s there. Tap Change Password.

4. Type in Your Current Password

This is to make sure it really is you making the change. Carefully type in your current password. In case you forgot don’t worry! I will walk you through the reset process too.

5. Set a New Password

Here’s where most people mess up. Don’t pick “123456” or “password123.” Instead:

  • Use at least 8 characters.
  • Mix upper- and lower-case letters.
  • Add numbers or special characters like @ or &.
  • For instance, instead of “ilovepizza,” go with something like “IL0v3P!zz@.” It’s tricky for hackers but still easy to remember if you’re creative.

6. Save Changes

After you enter your new password, confirm it, and save. Swiggy will notify you that your password has been updated. Congratulations! You have locked your account with a fresh set of keys.

Forgot Your Current Password? Here’s What to Do

We all have been in that scenario where we forget the password. The other day, I couldn’t even order my favorite butter chicken on Swiggy when I was hollow. That panic is real. But Swiggy makes it easy to reset passwords.

Steps to reset your password:

  • Tap ‘Forgot Password’ on the login screen.
  • Enter your registered email ID or phone number.
  • Swiggy will send the reset link to your e-mail or OTP to your phone.
  • Use the link/OTP to set a new password.
  • You’re done! You are back in business now, but ensure that the new password is unique as discussed above.

A Personal Lesson: Why Strong Passwords Matter

So here’s a story I tell to anyone who would listen: my cousin, Ravi, re-used his Facebook password on many applications, including Swiggy. One day, his Facebook got hacked, and they managed to siphon into his Swiggy account too. Ravi didn’t even realize until his bank notified him of suspicious transactions.

He had to freeze his card, explain to customer service what had happened, and then wait a few weeks for the money to return. Lesson learned? Do not use the same password across multiple accounts. And if you think your password might have been compromised, change it now.

Password Tips for Creation and Management

You probably feel pretty stressed out by having to keep multiple passwords straight. Here is how I handle things to make life easier:

  • Use a Password Manager: Tools like LastPass or Dashlane can store and generate strong passwords for you.
  • Set a Reminder: Change your passwords every 3-6 months. A calendar reminder works wonders.
  • Avoid Personal Info: Don’t use your name, birthday, or pet’s name. These are easy guesses for hackers.
  • Troubleshooting: If You Face Issues Sometimes, things don’t go as planned. Maybe the app crashes, or you just don’t get the reset link.

Here’s what to do:

  • Check Your Internet Connection: A weak signal may disrupt the process.
  • Recheck Your Email/Phone Number: Make sure that you have entered the right one associated with your account.
  • Contact Swiggy Support: Use the in-app help feature or send an email to support@swiggy.in.

I used to ask Swiggy’s customer care and they were relatively quick. Just be courteous and express your problem in the simplest terms.

What does Happen When you Change the Password?

Once you change the password, it could log you out from any other devices. This safety measure prevents anyone else getting logged in if someone is using another’s credentials at a different location.

Quick check???? Look through your recent orders and payment methods. If there’s something suspicious, reach the Swiggy support directly.

Final Thought: Stay safe online

Changing your Swiggy password isn’t just about food deliveries-it’s about protecting your personal data. Think about all the information we share online-addresses, payment details, etc. Doing little things like updating passwords regularly can be huge difference makers.

Every time I hear about someone’s account getting hacked, I always remember this saying: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Really true, yeah. Yes, it only takes two minutes to change passwords, but that’s so much better than dealing with stolen data.

So, have you updated that Swiggy password as of yet? If no, take some time off and do it now, for sure. You will then thank yourself when your account remains safe and secured. And hey, go ahead and update all those apps passwords too, shall we? Great, let’s make a productive day out of this one!

Got any questions or tips of your own? I’d love to hear them. Let’s keep the conversation going and help each other stay secure in this ever-connected digital world.
