Two-step verification

What it is

Two-step verification adds a second lock to your account.

When you sign in, you enter your password and a 6-digit code from an app on your phone. The code changes every 30 seconds.

Why we recommend it

Your HomeReadiness account holds your family's important information: names, birthdays, medical notes, insurance and ID documents, and your emergency plans.

If someone steals or guesses your password, two-step verification still keeps them out, because they don't have your phone.

It's free, takes about 2 minutes to set up, and you only need the code when you sign in.

What you need

Android

On iPhone with iOS 18 or later, the built-in Passwords app can also hold verification codes. Any standard authenticator app works.

How to turn it on

Signing in

Enter your email and password, then open your authenticator app and type the current 6-digit code for HomeReadiness. If it doesn't work, wait for the next code and try again.

Forgot your password?

Use Forgot password? on the sign-in page. We'll email you a code to set a new password. If two-step verification is on, you'll still need your authenticator code to sign in afterward. That's what keeps your account safe even if someone gets into your email.

Lost your phone or deleted the app?

Email support@homereadiness.co from the email on your account. We'll confirm it's you and turn off two-step verification so you can sign in and set it up again on your new phone.

Tip: when you get a new phone, move your authenticator app to it before you reset the old one.

For families

The account owner can require two-step verification for everyone in the family under Settings. If your family requires it, you'll be asked to set it up the next time you sign in.
