Airbnb Owner Login

The Airbnb owner login process is quick and easy, and we’ll walk you through the necessary steps here.

But first, it’s important to know that Lodgify is not Airbnb. Lodgify is a vacation rental software that provides tools for hosts to independently increase their bookings and maximize their time.

We know how crucial it is to be on listing sites—especially when you’re just getting started. That’s why our channel manager integrates directly with websites like Airbnb. We’ve put together this guide to help you log in to Airbnb and navigate through the site, starting from the very beginning.

How to use the Airbnb owner login

Airbnb has made navigating their site super easy. They provide lots of useful content for hosts, and accessing it starts with logging in to the Airbnb extranet. (Airbnb guests also use their own Airbnb login details when accessing the site.)

There are some great opportunities on Airbnb for hosts to generate income from their vacation rentals, so knowing how to use the Airbnb admin login is crucial.

Steps for easy Airbnb login

Step 1: Navigate to the Airbnb login page.

Step 2: As a host, you have several choices for logging into the platform. You can log in using your phone number, Facebook account, Google account, Apple account, or the email and password you registered with when opening your account. You will need this information to get access to the site to post your listing or to deal with guest inquiries.

Step 3: You are also given the option of clicking the “Remember me” box. This way, you won’t need to go through the second step each time you log in to your Airbnb owner account, though it’s only recommended if you are using a personal, private computer.

You have an account but forgot your password

If you don’t remember the password for your Airbnb extranet login, don’t worry—all you need to do is click on the Forgot password? link located below the password field and you’ll be redirected to the Reset password page. Then you’ll simply need to input the email address you used for your Airbnb owners login and click Send reset link. You’ll receive an email containing a link to reset your password shortly.

Airbnb’s reset links have a time limit and can only be used once. This means that if you’ve clicked Send reset link several times, you’ll only be able to use the most recent email. If you notice that the link is always expired before you open it, you may have to disable your email service’s link preview or mail scanner feature.

Tips for making your Airbnb login easier

Although the Airbnb sign-in process is already quite straightforward, some rental owners run into difficulties every now and then. With the following tips, you can prevent potential problems.

Check that the email used is correct

When you’re filling out your account profile, make sure you use the same email account that you will be using when logging in. If you have issues with your Airbnb owner login, remember that the site can always send you instructions to assist you.

You may want to make a note of your Airbnb sign-in details in case you do forget them. An alternative is to use Airbnb management software that will give you instant access to your Airbnb bookings and calendars. This tool syncs all your reservations on Airbnb with your own vacation rental website and any external channels. 

Don’t open two accounts just because you forget the Airbnb sign-in details for the first one. This can cause problems for you when you go to register your properties. Plus, it can confuse the Airbnb system when they are sending out details to hosts.

Make sure your Airbnb login details are secure

Never give your Airbnb.com login information to another person or to a guest. This could put your vacation rental business at risk if they happen to change your login details. They would also have access to all of your reservations and could interfere with a booking.

Some users like to use the same login credentials from their social media accounts to log in to sites like Airbnb. However, for security purposes, you may want to generate new and distinct login information for this site. This way, your Airbnb account is still protected if your social media login data becomes compromised.

Don’t use an easy password

Hosts may be tempted to use an easy password so they don’t forget it. However, it’s important to always follow good security best practices and use a difficult password so that it can’t be copied. You don’t want the data you are providing to Airbnb to be accessed by anyone else.

Airbnb recommends the following tips to create a strong password: 

  • Don’t use the same password from other accounts.
  • Your password should be a minimum of 8 characters and have a mix of numbers, letters, and special characters. Don’t use common phrases or words.
  • Use a password manager to store your passwords. This way, you can create unique combinations without worrying about forgetting them every time you try to log in!

If you’ve created your Airbnb account through Google, Apple, Facebook, or using your phone number, you probably don’t have a password. In order to create one, all you have to do is log out of your account and follow the same instructions previously mentioned for resetting a password.

Additional Airbnb host login help

If you aren’t able to reset your password, you may need to contact Airbnb customer service. This can be a bit of a challenge because there is no specific place that you can go to on the main website to contact them. Normally you would do this through your host dashboard.

There is a solution, though: reaching out by phone. Check to see if there is a specific number for your region. If not, then you can contact their head office. A representative should be able to give you the help you need.

You can also check out some of the comments from other hosts who have had difficulty logging in. 

How to change your Airbnb password

If you’re logged in to your Airbnb account and want to change your password, follow these simple steps: 

  1. Click Account.
  2. Go to Login & security.
  3. Where it says Password, click Update.
  4. Enter your existing password.
  5. Enter your new password.

Click Update password and you’re done!

Keeping your Airbnb account secure

Aside from creating a secure password, there are a few more ways to protect your account and information: 

  • Make sure to double-check the URL before logging in. It should always be https://www.airbnb.com. Spelling mistakes can direct you to a fake page where your login credentials can be stolen. 
  • Invest in antivirus software. It’s worth it!
  • Update your devices for new security protections.

What to do if someone has logged in to your Airbnb account

If someone has signed into your Airbnb account from a new device, Airbnb will require multi-factor authentication. A security code will be sent to either your phone or your email address, or they will be required to verify some account details. 

Oftentimes, Airbnb will send an email alert in case someone else has accessed your account. If that’s the case, you should immediately go to Review Your Account.
