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!

Let me share some troubleshooting steps that can help your users access their accounts, Doaa.

 

2-factor authentication is a security measure designed to confirm the identity of a user signing into an account using their login ID and password. For security, it's not recommended to disable 2-factor authentication.

 

If the user didn’t get a text, email, or phone call with the verification code, please know it takes a couple of minutes for the code to arrive. In addition, they can also perform the following steps:

  • Check your junk mail or spam folder to see if the email went there.
  • Check all email addresses you might've used to sign up for your 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.
