What is multi-factor authentication?
Passwords, on their own, aren't always secure; if someone gets your password, they can access your account and make unauthorised changes. We want to protect your account by making sure it's really you.
Multi-factor authentication is a security enhancement on top of the usual password requirement. This works as an extra layer of security wherein a one-time confirmation code is given when you log in. It provides extra protection against password thieves. You receive the security code through your email or mobile device.
What is two-step verification?
You can also set up two-step verification for your account.
Two-step verification is a setting in QuickBooks Online where you need to verify, using a code, that you're the one accessing your account every time. This disables the usual multi-factor authentication process that gives you the option for voice call, text, or email.
| Note: Email won't be an option when this is enabled. |
