I see a lot of posts on Twitter and other forums where Airbnb accounts are getting hacked. There are several ways to avoid being hacked but I wanted to share two settings I enable to hopefully avoid my account being compromised.
1. Enable Notifications for "Changes made to your account"
Most hosts probably already have this feature enabled but if you don't, you may want to.
2. Enable "Login Notifications"
I find enabling login notifications the most important setting to help protect my account. If you have this set, you receive a notification immediately when you or someone else logs in from a computer or device that has not been used to log into your Airbnb account before. If you receive the notification and it was not you logging in, log into your account immediately and change your password.
I would love to hear any other suggestions you may have regarding protecting your Airbnb account.
