You can log in to the Hotel Hideaway web store in your browser with a short code. The website shows the code, and you confirm it in the game. You don't need a password. This article explains how to log in, what each message means and how to log out.
Getting started
What is logging in to the website?
Logging in to the website connects your browser to your Hotel Hideaway account, so you can use the web store. The website gives you a code, you enter it in the game, and the game asks you to confirm. Once you confirm, the browser is logged in as your avatar.
What do I need to log in to the website?
You need the Hotel Hideaway game open and logged in to the account you want to use, and a browser with the Hotel Hideaway website open. The game and the browser can be on different devices.
Where do I start?
On the Hotel Hideaway website, select Log in at the top of the page. You can also select Log in in the web store, or Log in to check out in your cart. The login page opens with your code.
Logging in
How do I log in to the web store with a code?
You log in with a code from the website, which you confirm in the game:
On the website, select Log in. The page shows Your code: three letters or numbers, a dash, then three more (for example, ABC-123).
Open Hotel Hideaway.
In the game, go to Settings and select Log in to website.
Enter the code shown on the website.
Check the details in the Log in to the website? message, then select Yes, log in.
The game shows "You're logged in on the website". The website then shows "Signing you in…" and takes you back to the page you came from, or to the store.
Can I copy the code instead of typing it?
Yes. Select Copy code under the code on the website, then paste it into the code field in the game.
How long does a website login code last?
A login code lasts only a few minutes. The login page shows the time left next to "Expires in". If the code expires before you confirm it, select Get a new code on the website and enter the new code in the game.
What does the "Log in to the website?" message in the game show?
Before your browser is logged in, the game shows which avatar will be used for the website. When it can, the message also names the browser and device the request came from and the country it was made in. Only select Yes, log in if you started the login yourself.
Why can't I select "Yes, log in" straight away?
The Yes, log in button becomes available a few seconds after the message opens. Use the time to check that you started this login yourself.
Why is the button to submit my code not available?
The game accepts a complete code only. Make sure you've entered all six characters shown on the website.
Can I use the website login code on a different device from the game?
Yes. For example, you can show the code in a browser on your computer and confirm it in the game on your phone. The browser that showed the code is the one that gets logged in.
Messages on the website
What does "This code has expired" mean on the website?
Your code ran out of time before it was confirmed in the game. Select Get a new code and enter the new code in the game.
What does "This code was replaced" mean on the website?
You requested a new code in another browser tab, and only the newest code can log you in. Use the code shown in the other tab, or select Get a new code in this one.
What does "Sign-in declined" mean on the website?
The login was declined in the game, so the browser was not logged in. This happens when someone selects No, it wasn't me in the game. If you meant to log in, select Get a new code and confirm it in the game with Yes, log in.
What does "Too many codes" mean on the website?
Too many codes were requested in a short time. The page shows how long you need to wait. When it shows "You can ask for a new code now", select Get a new code.
What does "Couldn't sign you in" mean on the website?
Your code was confirmed in the game, but logging in to the browser did not finish. Select Get a new code and try again.
What does "Can't get a code right now" mean on the website?
The website couldn't create a login code. Wait a moment, then select Try again.
What does "Coming soon" on the login page mean?
Logging in from the website isn't available yet. To shop in the meantime, open the store from inside the game.
Messages in the game
What does "That code doesn't exist" mean in the game?
The code you entered doesn't match a login code from the website. Check the code on the website and enter it again.
What does "That code has expired" mean in the game?
The website code ran out of time. Select Get a new code on the website and enter the new code in the game.
What does "That code has already been used" mean in the game?
Each website login code can be used only once. Select Get a new code on the website and enter the new code in the game.
What does "Too many wrong codes" mean in the game?
You've entered too many codes that didn't work in a short time. Wait a few minutes, then enter the code shown on the website again. If that code has expired by then, get a new one on the website first.
What does "Logging in to the website isn't available right now" mean in the game?
Logging in to the website from the game is not available at the moment. Try again later.
Why don't I see "Log in to website" in the game's Settings?
Log in to website appears in Settings only when logging in to the website is available. Make sure your game is up to date.
Security
What should I do if the game asks me to log in to the website and I didn't start it?
Select No, it wasn't me. The browser that asked will not be logged in, and the website shows "Sign-in declined". Only confirm a login that you started yourself on the Hotel Hideaway website.
Should I share my website login code?
No. The code is meant only for you, in the browser where you opened it. Never enter a code someone else gives you. Confirming it would log their browser in to your account.
Managing your login
How do I know I'm logged in to the website?
The top of the website shows "Hello" followed by your avatar name, and a Log out button. If you open the login page while you're logged in, it shows "Signed in as" followed by your avatar name.
How do I log out of the website?
Select Log out at the top of the website, or in the menu on a phone. This logs out only that browser, not the game.
How do I log in to the website with a different avatar?
On the login page, select Not you? Log out and use a code. The website logs you out and shows a new code. Enter that code in the game while you're logged in with the avatar you want to use.
