Unfortunately, the only way to change the email address and phone number associated with your Airbnb account is by signing into and updating the information in your account settings. Additionally, if you can't login, you won't be able to view all the information on Airbnb's Help Center.

If you forgot your email and phone number associated with your Airbnb account, you can contact Airbnb Customer Service. A representative will ask some security questions regarding your account. Then, you will need to verify your account information before they can change it.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for AirBnB Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like AirBnB in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our How Do I Recover My AirBnB Account? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
