Account management

I'm glad to see you in this thread, @MMD639.

 

I'll add information about why you're asked for a code to log in and guide you in turning off the two-step verification.

 

You'll be required to enter a code if you clear the cache and cookies of the default browser where you usually sign in or when using a private window and another device to log in to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.

 

Please know that there are two ways to disable the 2-step verification. If you're still using the same phone number, you can follow the steps my colleague @MelroseV provided in this thread. If you're using a different one, here's how:

 

  1. Fill out the  Proof of identity form. You'll be asked to attach a copy of your driver's license, state ID, passport, or notarized document when completing the form.
  2. Select Submit once the file is uploaded.
  3. Sign in to your Intuit Account if you receive a message that your phone number is updated.
  4. Click Sign in & security. Then, pick 2-step verification.
  5. Turn off the Use 2-step verification switch.
  6. Type in your password, then Continue.
  7. A message will show that 2-step verification is now off. A confirmation email will also be sent to you stating your security preference is updated.

 

For additional info, check out this article: Secure your Intuit Account and prevent lockout with extra verification methods.

 

Also, keep in mind that once you turn off the 2-step verification, you'll still be prompted by Intuit to verify your identity to avoid compromising your account security.

 

If the issue persists, I recommend contacting QuickBooks Online (QBO) Care Team to review your account security settings and locate the root cause so they can provide you with a way on how to turn it off.
