I'm here to explain why you're getting this code, ayersmaintenance.
The 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 you log in.
This is also a security and is important in QBO accounts to add an extra level of protection and to reduce fraud. If you want this turned-off, you can follow the steps below:
- Sign in to your Intuit account.
- From the left menu, select Sign In & Security.
- In the “Two-step verification” section, select Turn off.
- Enter the code, then select Continue.
