I have an admin account on QuickBooks and I have a group of users. How can I reset the 2FA for one of these users?

I have full admin privileges.
The user is unable to access their account due to issues with their 2FA setup.
I need step-by-step instructions on how to reset or disable 2FA for this specific user.
If there are any prerequisites or specific settings I need to check before performing the reset, please include those as well.
If contacting QuickBooks support is required, what information will I need to provide them?
Thank you for your assistance!

I have an admin account on QuickBooks and I have a group of users. How can I reset the 2FA for one of these users?

I'm ready to help and resolve any issues you may have with resetting 2FA and user access issues, Doaa.

 

The option for the admin to reset another user's 2-factor authentication (2FA) is currently unavailable. Furthermore, this function serves as a security measure to verify a user's identity when logging into an account. It's not recommended to deactivate this feature for security reasons.

 

When users are unable to sign in to their Intuit Account, they can perform some troubleshooting steps to fix the issue. For instance, if they haven’t received a text, email, or phone call with the verification code, please know that it might take a few minutes for the information to be delivered.  

 

They can also perform the following troubleshooting steps:

 

  • Check the junk mail or spam folder to see if the email went there.
  • Check all email addresses they might've used to sign up for their account.
  • Unblock or add Do_not_reply@intuit.com as an approved sender in your email app.
  • Select the I didn’t get a textI didn’t get an email, or I didn’t get a phone call link on the product sign-in page to get a new code.
  • Make sure to allow or unblock our numbers 88811 and 97962 on your iOS or Android device.

For other ways to gain access to QBO, inform the users to perform the solutions outlined in this article: Recover your Intuit Account if you can’t sign in. From there, choose the scenario that fits their situation.
