Setting up your Airbnb account

You’ve logged in, but you need to edit your account. Where do you go? Here’s how to update your profile, manage notification settings (like receiving emails or texts), and change your password to help you set up your account just the way you like it.

Editing your personal info 

Whether a host, guest, or Airbnb is trying to reach you, it’s important to keep your account updated. Once you’re logged in, go to your Account settings to edit things like your email address or phone number. Note that some of this account info will be shown on your public profile (like your profile picture or first name), but we don’t share things like your government ID, payment info, or email address publicly on Airbnb.

Verifying your info
