Choose the Best Login & MFA Method for You

Finding the right way to access your account depends on your daily workflow and the devices you use. Use the scenarios below to find your perfect match.

Which scenario fits you best?

"I use an iPhone, iPad, or Mac"
  • Best choice: Sign in with Apple
  • Why: You can log in using FaceID or TouchID. It’s the fastest "one-click" option and requires no extra codes.
"I use Gmail or Google Workspace at work"
  • Best choice: Sign in with Google
  • Why: If you’re already logged into your email, you’re already logged into Cloudbeds. It’s familiar, secure, and highly reliable.
"I don't have a smartphone"
  • Best choice: Security Key or Desktop Passkey
  • Why: You can use a USB key (like a YubiKey) or your computer's built-in security (like Windows Hello) to verify your identity.
"I'm comfortable using mobile apps"
  • Best choice: Authenticator App (Okta Verify / Google Authenticator)
  • Why: Great if you like having a dedicated app that generates a 6-digit code or sends a "Tap to Approve" notification to your phone.
"I want the highest level of security available"
  • Best choice: Passkeys
  • Why: This is the "Gold Standard." It links your login to your physical device (computer or phone), making it nearly impossible for hackers to access your account from elsewhere.
