Mealime login: access your account and reset a password.

Open the official Mealime login.

Open Mealime login → takes you to the web form linked from Mealime’s official website. The public form checked on 12 September 2026 asks for an email and password and offers password recovery. On mobile, open the installed app and choose Sign In.

If your old phone is still signed in, keep that session open. It is your best reference for which account contains your recipes. Mealime’s account-editing help, updated 16 April 2021, locates account details under Settings → Profile Lime → Edit your account. Use that area to establish the email before trying another address; you do not need to change it to investigate.

Google or Apple account, or a Mealime password?

The current public web login shows email/password fields; it does not show a Google or Apple sign-in option. Using a Gmail address in that form still requires a Mealime password. Mealime’s published recovery instructions describe setting that password, not changing your Google or Apple password.

If you remember an Apple sign-in button, check whether Mealime appears under iPhone Settings → your name → Sign in with Apple. Apple documents this list and the information shared with each app. That checks your recollection; it does not establish that Mealime currently supports Apple login. Tell support the address or method you can identify instead of creating a second account to experiment.

Follow the documented password reset.

Open Mealime password reset →. The live page asks for your account email. Mealime’s recovery instructions, updated 29 July 2019, cover both a forgotten password and one that was never set:

1. On mobile, choose Sign In, then the recovery link beneath the sign-in button. On the web, open the reset page above.
2. Enter the email used for Mealime and request instructions.
3. Open the message, follow its reset link, choose a new password and submit it.
4. Return to login with that same email and the new password.

The article says the email should arrive within a few minutes. Its mobile screenshots are historical; the public web login currently labels recovery “I don’t have my password”.

If the reset email does not arrive.

Check the address you entered for a typing error and look in your spam or filtered folders. Search your email for an older message from Mealime to identify the address you originally used. If your household has used one account on several devices, ask which address belongs to that account before creating a new one.

A new empty account can look like missing favourites when you are simply viewing a different account. Compare the email shown in a working session with the one used for recovery. Avoid changing several things at once: recording the address and the exact error makes a support request much clearer.

Choose the next action for your problem.

Being unable to sign in, reaching an empty account and seeing fewer recipes in the planner are different problems. Use the observation that matches your screen.

Missing favourites can be a filter issue.

Mealime’s Favorites documentation, updated 12 October 2020, distinguishes the app’s Favorites section from the Your Favorites filter inside the planner. That filter respects your current eating preferences. Its example is pasta that disappears from the filter after switching to gluten-free. Check the main collection before treating a missing dish as lost account data. Keep dietary requirements in place; you only need to compare the views.

For example, if your old phone has favourites and your new phone has none, compare account emails first. If both show the same account and the full collection exists, but the planner omits one dish, investigate preferences. If the full collection is still missing, send support that specific observation. A blank list alone does not prove deletion.

Mealime’s official website announces a shutdown on 21 October 2026. A login error before then does not establish that the service has already closed. The closure guide explains the timeline and what is known about continued recipe access.

Send a useful support request.

Mealime’s password article names [email protected] for further help. Explain the sign-in route you used, the device, the account email and the error message. Mention whether a reset email arrived and whether another session still works. You can describe these details without sending your current password or a private reset link.

For a billing-only problem, use the provider shown on your receipt and our cancellation instructions. You may be able to inspect an app-store subscription without recovering the Mealime account first. For removal of an inaccessible account, review the official email option in our deletion guide.

Save accessible recipes while you can.

If a public recipe link opens even while account login is failing, you can save that accessible recipe independently. The free MealPot website backup accepts supported recipe inputs without either account login. Inspect the preview and then open the downloaded file.

This does not unlock private favourites or bypass account access. A list of recipe titles, personal notes and weekly plans may still need to be copied from your own working session. Keep those records together so that resolving a login issue does not become the only way to organise the next dinner.
