Your account holds important information — your property listings, booking history, and personal details.
Two-step login (also called two-factor authentication, or 2FA) adds a simple extra layer of protection so that even if someone gets hold of your password, they still can't get in.
Here's how to set it up in just a few minutes.
What is two-step login?
When you log in normally, you only use your password. With two-step login enabled, after entering your password, you'll also be asked to confirm it's really you — using a second, temporary code. Think of it like a lock that needs two keys instead of one.
You have two options for how to receive that second code:
Option 1 — Email verification code
Best for: No apps to download, no extra setup.
Every time you log in, we'll send a one-time security code to the email address linked to your account. You simply enter that code, and you're in. The code expires after a short time, so it can't be reused by anyone else.
How to enable it:
- Log in to your EU-Rentals account
- If this is your first login, you will be redirected to the Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) setup page (see instructions below). If you have already logged in before, go to “My Account” and select “Two-Factor Authentication (TFA)”.
- Under Your verification methods, click Enable Email OTP
- Enter your current password to confirm it's you and click Continue
- Switch on "Send me a verification code by email when I log in"
- Click Save settings
That's it — next time you log in, check your inbox for the code.
Option 2 — Authenticator app
Best for: Users who want faster login or don't always have access to their email during login.
An authenticator app on your phone generates a new 6-digit code every 30 seconds. You don't need an internet connection or to wait for an email — just open the app and enter the code shown.
Popular free apps include:
- Google Authenticator (iOS & Android)
- Authy (iOS & Android)
- Microsoft Authenticator (iOS & Android)
How to enable it:
- Download one of the apps above on your phone
- Log in to your EU-Rentals account
- If this is your first login, you will be redirected to the Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) setup page (see instructions below). If you have already logged in before, go to “My Account” and select “Two-Factor Authentication (TFA)”.
- Under Your verification methods, click Set up application
- Enter your current password and click Continue
- Open your authenticator app, tap + or Add account, and scan the QR code shown on screen
- Enter the 6-digit code from the app to confirm it's working, then click Save
Which one should I choose?
| Email code | Authenticator app | |
|---|---|---|
| Easy to set up | Yes | Requires app download |
| Works without phone data | Yes (just email) | Yes (app works offline) |
| Fastest to use | Depends on email speed | Instant |
| Recommended for most users | Yes | For more confident users |
You can enable both methods at the same time if you like — that way you always have a backup.
What if I lose access to my email or phone?
If you get locked out, contact our support team, and we'll help you regain access after verifying your identity.
