Where to find your Starbucks username in the app and online

Your Starbucks global username is the account name you use to log into the Starbucks app or website — not your email address or phone number. You can find it in the app under Account Settings, or on the web version under your profile menu. If you created your account years ago and do not remember setting a username, Starbucks may have assigned you one automatically when you first registered.

The fastest way to locate it is to open the Starbucks app, tap the account icon (usually in the top right or bottom menu), and look for a section labeled "Account" or "Profile." Your username will be displayed near your name and email. On the Starbucks website at starbucks.com, log in and click your profile icon, then select "Account Settings" — your username appears there as well.

Key Takeaways

  • Your Starbucks username is separate from your email address and is shown in Account Settings within the app or website.
  • The Starbucks app shows your username on the profile screen, usually accessible from an account icon at the top or bottom of the screen.
  • If you cannot find a username listed, you may have logged in with email only, and Starbucks may not have created a separate username for your account.
  • You can change your username in Account Settings if you want a different one, though the option to do so varies by account age and region.

Finding your username in the Starbucks mobile app

Open the Starbucks app and make sure you are logged in. Tap the circular account icon — on most versions this is in the top right corner, though some phones place it at the bottom. You will see your name and email address displayed.

Look for a line that says "Username" or "Member ID." This is your global username. Write it down or take a screenshot if you need it for another service or account recovery. If you see only your email address and no separate username field, your account may have been created without a distinct username, and you can log in using your email instead.

Finding your username on Starbucks.com

Go to starbucks.com and log in with your email and password. Once logged in, look for your profile icon — usually a circle with your initials or a generic person icon in the top right corner of the page.

Click that icon and select "Account" or "My Account" from the dropdown menu. You will be taken to your account dashboard. Scroll down or look for a section labeled "Account Information" or "Profile Settings." Your username will be listed there, often near your email address and phone number. If you do not see a username field at all, your account may not have one assigned.

What to do if you cannot locate your username

If you have logged in but cannot find a username listed anywhere, it is possible your account was created using only your email address. Starbucks does not require a separate username for all accounts, especially older ones created before the global username system was fully rolled out.

In this case, you can use your email address as your login credential instead. If you want to create a username for your account, go to Account Settings and look for an option to "Add Username" or "Create Username." Not all accounts have this option available, depending on when the account was created and your region.

If you have forgotten your password entirely and cannot log in, use the "Forgot Password" link on the Starbucks login page. You will receive a reset email at the address associated with your account, and you can set a new password without needing your username.

Why Starbucks uses a global username

The global username system allows you to use the same login across Starbucks apps, websites, and partner platforms in different countries. Instead of managing separate accounts for Starbucks US, Starbucks Canada, or other regions, one username works everywhere your Starbucks account is recognized.

This also means your rewards points, payment methods, and order history stay connected to that single username. If you travel or use Starbucks services in multiple countries, your account follows you without needing to create new logins each time.

Changing your username if you want a different one

Some Starbucks accounts allow you to change your username, though this option is not available on all accounts. To check if you can change yours, go to Account Settings in the app or on the website and look for an "Edit Username" or "Change Username" option.

If the option is available, click it and enter your new desired username. Starbucks will check whether that username is already taken. If it is available, you can save the change when ready. Your old username will no longer work for login, so make note of your new one. If you do not see an option to change your username, your account type may not support this feature, and you would need to contact Starbucks support to ask about alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my Starbucks username the same as my email address?

No. Your username is a separate login name you chose or that Starbucks created for you. Your email address is different and is used for account recovery and notifications. You can log in using either your username or your email, depending on what your account supports.

Can I use my username to log into Starbucks in other countries?

Yes. Your global username works across Starbucks apps and websites in different regions, so you can use the same login in the US, Canada, the UK, and other countries where Starbucks operates online. Your rewards balance and payment methods travel with your account.

What if I see a "Member ID" instead of a username?

Member ID and username are sometimes used interchangeably in Starbucks accounts. Your Member ID is a number assigned to your account, while your username is the text name you use to log in. Both identify your account, but you log in with your username, not your Member ID.

Do I need my username to order at a Starbucks store?

No. Your username is only needed to log into the app or website. In a physical store, you can order without logging in, or you can provide your phone number or name if you have a Starbucks account linked to that number.
