Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, Gary.
QuickBooks ensures the security of your account by providing advanced security tools and systems. Since you've asked for a verification code, you'll have to set up an authenticator app. Let me guide you how.
- Download an authenticator app from the iOS App store or Google Play by searching for “authenticator”.
- Sign in to your Intuit Account, then select Sign in & security.
- Click Authenticator and choose Set up authenticator app.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
Once done, you can now continue setting up your QuickBooks account and use the authenticator app to get a verification code.
I'm adding this article for more guidance: Verify your Intuit Account with multi-factor authentication or two-step verification.
Just in case you want to learn more about getting started with QuickBooks after setting it up, you can check out this article for detailed information: Get started and adjust settings after you sign up for QuickBooks Online.
