Intuit Account login and Capcha

CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA are important for keeping Intuit services safe when logging in. They help stop automated programs and hackers from gaining unauthorized access, @JustMeAt107.

Since QuickBooks Online is a cloud-based application, the existence of this security is important. This helps protect users from spam, bots, and other malicious activity.

That is why users must complete simple tasks, like selecting certain images or solving easy puzzles, which are easy for people but hard for bots. This helps protect personal data and keeps accounts secure from threats like guessing passwords. Using these security measures ensures that only real users can access their financial information. This level of protection is vital for building trust with users and following data protection laws in our digital world.

Additionally, adopting passkeys for signing in to Intuit accounts enhances security, simplifies the user experience, and protects against common threats associated with traditional password-based authentication.

Moreover, a two-step verification significantly enhances account security, helping protect personal and sensitive information from unauthorized access.

By using these advanced security measures, Intuit protects users' sensitive financial information and creates a safe environment for everyone. As we embrace digital solutions, focusing on security helps users manage their accounts confidently while staying safe from new threats. Together, we can build a more secure online experience for all. Thank you for recognizing the importance of these security measures, @JustMeAt107  Have a great day!

Jeff, thanks for the detailed reply.  I am well aware of security concerns with online services such as Quickbooks, but my point was that CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA are ancient methods that are getting harder to use, as many of the pictures are difficult to see.  Perhaps newer technologies exist that work as well.

I wish the Passkey availability had been advertised to us earlier and with more emphasis.  I've set them up already for my two accounts.

However, it appears that Intuit's login web page doesn't recognize my "device" (macOS 15.2, running Safari) as a device that is capable of logging in with a Passkey, and still prompts for password and authenticator code.  I use a third party password manager (1Password) that is quite successful logging in with passkeys on other sites.

I remain hopeful that Intuit will find a way to make this work, as it is a MUCH more secure option.
