- Confirm the email address and tap Save or Done.
If you don’t add an email address and you forget your PIN, you’ll have to contact customer support before you can reset your PIN. Since we don’t verify this email address to confirm its accuracy, make sure you provide an accurate email address you can access.

To reset the PIN:
- Open Carrots > tap Forgot PIN? > Send Email. A reset link will be sent to the email address you provided.
- In the email, follow the reset link and tap CONFIRM.
- Open Carrots > tap Forgot PIN? > Reset.
Keep in mind, deleting or reinstalling Carrots won’t disable or reset the PIN for two-step verification.
Reset PIN without an email address
You’ll need to contact customer support to reset the PIN if:
- You didn’t provide an email address to reset the PIN.
- You forgot the email address to reset the PIN.
After the 7-day period, open Carrots > tap Forgot PIN? > Reset.
Note: For security purposes, there isn’t an option for us to speed up the 7-day timeframe or disable your account after two-step verification is enabled. The two-step verification PIN is different from the 6-digit registration code you receive via SMS or phone call.
Two-step verification is an optional feature that adds more security to your Carrots account. You’ll see the two-step verification screen after you successfully register your email on Carrots. You can learn how to enable two-step verification in the article (insert link to previous article).
When you enable two-step verification, you have the option to enter your email address. This allows Carrots to email you a reset link in case you ever forget your PIN, and also helps safeguard your account.
To help you remember your PIN, Carrots will prompt you to periodically enter your PIN. Unfortunately, there isn’t an option to disable this without disabling the two-step verification feature.
Note: The two-step verification PIN is different from the 6-digit registration code you receive via email. You can learn more about registration in this article.
When you create a Carrots account, you’ll see two different screens:
- Registration: This screen appears when you’re creating a new account. To confirm that you own the email, you’ll be prompted to enter a 6-digit registration code sent to you via email. Verifying your email with a registration code is the only way you can activate your account, and you must be able to receive the code on your email.
- Two-step verification: This screen appears after you successfully register your email on Carrots. Two-step verification is an optional feature that adds more security to your Carrots account. When enabling this feature, you create and confirm a unique PIN that’s required to access your account. The two-step verification PIN is different from the 6-digit registration code you receive via email. You can learn more about two-step verification in this article (insert next article link).
If you forgot your PIN and you’ve successfully registered your email on Carrots, tap Forgot PIN?> Disable to access your account.
Account and Profile
You can either move to the same type of phone, such as Android to Android, or move to a different type of phone, such as iPhone to Android.
Note: If you give away or return your old phone to your mobile provider, make sure to wipe it of all your data beforehand, including the SD card if applicable. This ensures none of your private data will fall into someone else’s hands.
To maintain security, limit data retention, and protect the privacy of our users, Carrots accounts may be deleted after 120 days of inactivity. Inactivity means the user hasn’t connected to Carrots.
An internet connection is required for an account to be active. If a user has Carrots open on their device, but they don’t have an internet connection, then the account will be inactive.
Content stored locally on a user’s device prior to account deletion will remain until Carrots is deleted from the device. When a user reregisters for Carrots on the same device, their locally stored content will reappear.

Delivery by Carrots requires the products to be dropped off at the Carrots drop off locations. Shoppers don’t need to worry about this step as this is an interaction point for Carrots and Farmers.
Dropping orders off at a Carrots drop off point
You can find your closest Carrots drop off point in your application. From the farmers side of the Carrots application, tap on Farm > “Carrots drop off” button at the top of screen to get a list of your nearest locations and navigation instructions.
There are three delivery methods available to Carrots shoppers, delivery by Farmers, delivery by Carrots or local pickup. If you are close to the farmer they may offer an option to deliver your order directly to your door. If you live within a Carrots delivery zone you can have your produce delivered to your door through Carrots delivery. If neither of these options are available for you, you can opt to pick your order up directly from the farmer. Your available options will be displayed during checkout.
Carrots delivery zones
Carrots delivery zones are a radius around the Carrots “Drop off points” that are within range for our drivers to deliver your order. Our drivers deliver orders on a set schedule and when you place an order with a farmer, it will be delivered on the next scheduled delivery day. If this option is available on your order, it will be displayed during checkout.
Farmer delivery zones
Farmers have the option to deliver local orders within a specified range around their farm. This is ideal for communities outside the range of the Carrots delivery zones. If this option is available on your order, it will be displayed during checkout.
Pickup
You may also opt to pick the order up yourself at the Farmer’s pick up location. If this is an option it will be displayed during checkout.
Note: Not all Farmers offer pickup and those that do may have a specific schedule when pickup is available. Be sure to check this prior to selecting pickup as your delivery method.

You can better secure your Carrots account by following these tips:
- Never share your registration code or two-step verification PIN with others.
- Enable two-step verification and provide an email address in case you forget your PIN.
- Set a device code.
- Be aware of who has physical access to your phone. If someone has physical access to your phone, they can use your Carrots account without your permission.
We recommend you share this advice with friends and family to help secure their Carrots accounts.Note: If you receive an email to reset the two-step verification PIN or registration code but didn’t request this, don’t click on the link. Someone could be attempting to access your account on Carrots.
If you live in a country in the European Economic Area (which includes the European Union), and any other included country or territory (collectively referred to as the European Region), you must be at least 16 years old (or such greater age required in your country) to register for and use Carrots.
If you live in any other country except those in the European Region, you must be at least 13 years old (or such greater age required in your country) to register for and use Carrots.

- Proof of parental authority (e.g., copy of birth or adoption certificate for the underage child)
- Proof of child’s date of birth (e.g., copy of birth or adoption certificate for the underage child)
We’ll promptly disable the Carrots account if it’s reasonably verifiable that the account belongs to your underage child. You won’t receive confirmation of this action. Our ability to review and take appropriate action on a report significantly improves with the completeness of the information requested above.
If the reported child’s account isn’t reasonably verifiable as belonging to an underage user, then we may not be able to take action on the account. In this case, if you’re not the parent of this child, then we strongly recommend that you encourage a parent to contact us using the instructions above.
