I appreciate your proactive approach to securing your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account, @test23912931923919231293. Enforcing two-factor authentication (2FA) for all users, especially for administrative actions, is a commendable step to protect your financial and customer data. I'm here to provide information on QBO's security options and help you explore alternatives.
As of posting, we can only adjust and implement stricter role-based access controls to limit users to certain administrative actions since enforcing 2FA for all users from an administrative level isn't achievable yet. To do this, you can refer to these articles:
If restricting user roles isn't applicable in your case, the best we can do for now is to distribute an internal policy to the team that mandates enabling 2FA for all users with administrative privileges, having them submit proof that they've enabled 2FA, and performing periodic audits to ensure compliance. This way, you can ensure that your employees' accounts remain secure.
Should there be any concern that employees' accounts are accessed on unrecognized devices, please know that QuickBooks will always require two-step verification as an extra layer of security. I also recommend having them check their Intuit account sign-in logs. Here's how to do it:
- Sign in to Intuit Account.
- Navigate to Sign in & Security.
- Scroll down and click on Account activity.
- Check all sign-in history details.
Moreover, I understand the importance of this functionality and share your concern about maintaining a high level of security to protect your financial data in QBO. I also encourage sharing your feedback with our product engineers if you haven't yet.
- Go to the Gear icon.
- Select Feedback.
