What to do if I have issues logging in?

If you are unable to log into your Holidu Host account, follow the troubleshooting steps below based on your device. We've also included important information about collaborator permissions to help you resolve access issues quickly.

Mobile Troubleshooting - Holidu Host App

If you're experiencing login problems on your mobile device, try these steps in order:

Step 1: Reinstall the App

Sometimes app cache issues can prevent successful login. To resolve this:

1. Uninstall the Holidu Host app from your device completely
2. Reinstall the app from your device's app store (Apple App Store for iPhone or Google Play Store for Android)
3. Attempt to log in again with your credentials

Step 2: Check Your Device's Date and Time Settings

Incorrect date and time settings can cause authentication errors. Ensure automatic date and time is enabled:

For iPhone:

1. Open Settings
2. Navigate to General
3. Select Date & Time
4. Enable both toggles for automatic settings
5. Return to the app and try logging in again

For Android:

1. Open the Clock app
2. Tap More options
3. Select Settings
4. Enable automatic date and time
5. Return to the app and attempt login

Step 3: Reset Your Password

If the above steps don't work, reset your password:

1. On the login screen, tap Forgot Password
2. Check your email for a password reset link (valid for 10 minutes)
3. Click the link and follow the instructions to create a new password
4. Return to the app and log in with your new password

Desktop Troubleshooting

If you're having trouble logging in from a computer or web browser, follow these steps:

Step 1: Verify You're on the Correct Website

Make sure you're accessing the correct Holidu Host login page:

• Visit host.holidu.com and sign in as a host, or
• Go to holidu.com, click Account in the top right corner, and select Login for Hosts

Using the correct URL is essential for successful authentication.

Step 2: Adjust Your Computer's Date and Time

System date and time mismatches can prevent login. Set these to automatic:

On Mac:

1. Click the Apple menu
2. Select System Settings
3. Navigate to General
4. Click Date & Time
5. Enable Set time and date automatically
6. Enable Set time zone automatically using your current location
7. Try logging in again

On Windows:

1. Click Start
2. Select Settings
3. Navigate to Time & Language
4. Click Date & Time
5. Enable Set time automatically
6. Enable Set time zone automatically
7. Attempt login again

Step 3: Reset Your Password

If you still can't log in, reset your password:

1. On the login screen, click Forgot Password below the password field
2. You will receive an email with a reset link valid for 10 minutes
3. Click the link and follow the instructions to set a new password
4. Sign in with your new password

Step 4: Complete the Sign-Up Form if Redirected

In some cases, you may be redirected to a sign-up form. If this happens:

1. Complete the sign-up form as prompted
2. Once submitted, you should be able to access the Holidu Host platform normally

Understanding Email and Collaborator Permissions

Access to the Holidu Host platform is controlled by email addresses and collaborator permissions. Understanding these requirements can help you resolve login issues:

Who Can Log In?

• Only the main account email address can log in as the primary account holder
• Email addresses that have been added as collaborators can also access the platform
• Any other email address will be unable to log in, regardless of password reset attempts

What if Your Email Isn't Registered?

If your email address is not registered with Holidu as either the main account email or a collaborator email, you will not be able to log in. In this case:

1. Contact the main account holder for your property
2. Ask them to add your email address as a collaborator
3. Once they've completed this process, you should be able to log in

How to Verify or Manage Collaborators

If you're the main account holder and need to add or update collaborator permissions:

1. Log into the Holidu Host platform
2. Navigate to your account settings
3. Select the collaborators section
4. Add new email addresses or modify existing collaborator permissions as needed

Collaborator Access Issues

If you believe you should have access to a property but cannot log in:

• Verify that your email address is listed as a collaborator
• Check that the email address you're using to log in matches the one registered as a collaborator
• Contact the property's main account holder to confirm your collaborator status or request access

Quick Reference Checklist

Before contacting support, verify the following:

• You are using an email address registered as the main account or as a collaborator
• Your device's date and time are set to automatic
• You are accessing the correct login page (host.holidu.com for hosts)
• You have reinstalled the app (on mobile) or cleared browser cache (on desktop)
• You have successfully reset your password within the 10-minute window
