Having to get a text code every time I login

Note that I have two factor authentication turned off.

Since sometime yesterday, I'm having to get a code texted to my phone every single time I login during the day.

Since I am not working in QB continuously all day long, I wind up having to log back in at least every 30 to 60 minutes because of the short time out on the website. So now I'm having to mess around with TFA over and over all day! This is incredibly annoying; how do I make it stop?

Hi Electrogas,

Thanks for reaching out to Community. I can understand the impact that multi-factor authentication is having on your day. However, Intuit is dedicated to guarding your data with multi-factor authentication and anti-fraud technology. It's intended to confirm a user listed on the account, is signing in using their login ID and password. Click here to learn more about Intuit Security practices.

Multi-factor authentication allows us to send you a one-time confirmation code through your email or mobile device, to protect against password theft. This feature cannot be turned off.

Feel free to reach out again, with other questions. We would be glad to help!

This is happening to me as of last week. Every time I go to my computer, I have to log in and wait for a text message. This is incredibly annoying. I have it set to stay logged in for 3 hours, that isn't enough. I really wish you would change this, it is clearly a problem for many users.

Same thing started happening to one of my employees yesterday, but it doesn't happen on my account.

He is unable to log in at home to work at night because it now calls our office line with code to verify. Very frustrating.
