Why was I just asked to verify my account?

Hello!

Upon attempting to login to Airbnb today, I was asked to verify my account through an SMS text message. After I verified (entered the 4 digit code they sent me) I was then asked to change my password.

Anyone know why? I’m confused.

Has this ever happened to anyone else?

not me…

this post must be

Thanks for the response. The only thing I can come up with is that maybe I was logging in from a different browser or computer and the site didn’t recognize me. Strange indeed.
