Does anyone else think the new security procedures to access your own account are way over the top. Really. A mouse eating cheese, listening to a crowd roar after entering your own phone number, receiving an SMS verifying its you, using Face ID and it’s wird to log in… come on. This is ridiculous. I have used this today so I can go on my next holiday (booked ore all this new stupidity) and can honestly say, I won’t be using AirBnB again after a ten year association. It’s just too frustrating

Hi @Chris20149
It’s a multi-factor authentication I think. If you log into Airbnb from a new place or device—or edit sensitive account information—you could be asked to confirm it's really you. You may need to enter a security code sent to your phone or email, or verify some of your account details.
You may be able to use your device for 2-step authentication. This will allow you to authenticate in the same way you unlock your device, whether that’s with face recognition, fingerprint, or passcode.
You can always deactivate this setting from the device itself or a browser by visiting
Account > Login & Security.
Device authentication only applies to the device you used to activate this setting, but you’ll always have the option to use a verification code with a PIN instead.
As long as other members are complaining that their account has been hacked, I don't think it's excessive yet.
