Manage MFA & Login Security

View your verification status, change your password, and set up two-factor authentication—all in one place.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

On Settings › Security, you can see at a glance which verification steps you’ve completed—email, phone, MFA, or external provider sign-in—and take action to lock down your HomeHunter account. Follow the sections below to review your security status, update your password, and enable two-factor authentication.

1. Security Overview

Go to Settings › Security to see your account’s current verification flags:

Security Item

Status Badge

What It Means

Email Verification

✔️ / ❌

You’ve confirmed your primary email address.

Phone Verification

✔️ / ❌

Your phone number is verified for SMS-based security.

Multi-Factor Authentication

✔️ / ❌

An extra code is required at login (SMS or authenticator).

External Provider

✔️ / ❌

You use Google, Apple, or another external login service.


2. Change Your Password

Below the security overview, you’ll find the Change Password form—unless you signed in with an external provider, in which case it’s disabled.

  1. Enter your Current Password.

  2. Choose a New Password (8+ characters, mix of letters, numbers, and symbols).

  3. Click Change Password.

  4. Look for a success toast or an error message if something goes wrong.


3. Enable Two-Factor Authentication

If MFA is not yet set up, you’ll see a prompt to Set Up Two-Factor Authentication.

  1. Verify with Phone (SMS)

    • Tap Verify with Phone.

    • Enter the 6-digit code we text you.

    • Confirm to lock in SMS-based 2FA.

  2. Verify with Authenticator App

    • Tap Verify with Authenticator App.

    • Scan the QR code in your authenticator (e.g., Google Authenticator).

    • Enter the time-based code to confirm.

After setup, revisit Settings › Security to see Multi-Factor Authentication marked as ✔️.


4. Disabling MFA

The Security page does not include a “Disable MFA” button. If you ever need to turn off two-factor authentication, please use your account recovery options or contact HomeHunter support for assistance.


Quick Recap

  1. Review Status Badges under Settings › Security.

  2. Change Password for stronger login credentials.

  3. Set Up MFA via SMS or Authenticator App for extra protection.

  4. Contact Support if you need to disable or reset MFA.

Keeping these settings up to date ensures your HomeHunter account—and all your saved property searches—stay safe and accessible only to you.
