Email pay stub password problem

Let's make sure you're able to send your pay stubs again, vanepst. 

We have a couple of recommended steps to help resolve the error. First, let's toggle the settings in the Preferences window. Here's how:

1. Go back to the Send Forms tab and select QuickBooks Email instead of Web Mail. 
2. Click OK.
3. Close and re-open the Preferences window.
4. Go back to the  Send Forms tab and change it back to Web Mail. 

Second, you will also need to turn on the 2-step verification process. It will generate a random password that you need to enter in QuickBooks every time your asked for password when sending files. It's a recent change that was implemented by Yahoo.

To do that, scroll down to the If you are using Yahoo! Mail section of this Help article: QuickBooks Will Not Accept My Web Mail Password.

Please leave a reply below if you have follow-up questions. We want to make sure everything is good to go.

Hi there, vanepst.

Thanks for getting back to us. Allow me to provide some additional information about email pay stub password in QuickBooks. 

I appreciate you for following the steps provided by my colleague @JenoP. In addition, you can send an email in QuickBooks using QuickBooks Email if you have an active subscription for any company file such as, QuickBooks Connect, Intuit Data Protect, QuickBooks Attached Documents, Intuit Commissions Manager, and QuickBooks Time and Billing Manager.  

To check if you have valid subscription, here's how:

1. At the top menu bar, click Edit and choose Send Forms.
2. Choose My Preferences.
3. Click Check for valid subscriptions.
4. Enter your Intuit Account that you have associated with your subscription.
5. Click Check Now. 

Once you've received a pop-up window that we can't grant you access to QuickBooks Email this means that you don't have a valid subscription. 

For the meantime, you can set your yahoo address so you can send pay stub to your employees. You can check this article for the detailed steps: Email pay stubs from QuickBooks Desktop.

How do I get the passwords?

Thanks for looping in this thread, marypert.

I'd be happy to help you get the password for an emailed pay stub in QuickBooks Desktop.

If you email pay stubs via the QuickBooks Desktop, they are delivered as password-protected PDF attachments to increase the security of the employee's information. 

The passwords are composed of the following:

• The first 4 characters of the employee's last name.
• The last four digits of the SSN.
• Make sure to remove non-alphabetical character when building the password.

The password is automatically generated and can't be removed. The only way the password can be altered is if the employee's name and social security number changes within QuickBooks Desktop before the check is created for the employee.

I'd love to help if you have additional questions about emailing pay stubs and passwords in QuickBooks Desktop. Have a good one.

I had also been having this problem and had taken to saving the documents (pay stubs in this case) as pdfs and then emailing them directly from my email account.  The solutions mentioned here are very cumbersome but worked after much frustration.  Quickbooks wants me to upgrade prior to May 31st but I'm dreading it with all the issues I've encountered the last couple of months.
