How to Share Access Codes with Airbnb Guests Securely
Learn the best practices for sharing WiFi passwords, door codes, and check-in instructions with your vacation rental guests without compromising security.
The Challenge of Sharing Access Information
As an Airbnb or vacation rental host, you face a constant challenge: how do you share sensitive access information with guests while keeping your property secure?
Every booking requires you to communicate:
Sending this information through Airbnb messages, WhatsApp, or email creates security risks and often leads to confusion.
Common Mistakes Hosts Make
1. Using the Same Code Forever
Many hosts use a permanent door code that never changes. This means every past guest still has access to your property.
2. Sending Codes via Multiple Channels
Spreading information across Airbnb messages, SMS, and email makes it hard for guests to find what they need—and leaves traces everywhere.
3. No Expiration on Shared Information
Once you send a code, you have no control over it. Guests can share it or access it months later.
A Better Approach: Centralized, Secure Sharing
The solution is to centralize all your access information in one secure place with these features:
