SMS code not being received

Situation: It has been several occasions when I had to enter bank info or edit a mobile number of an employee or contractor. Since the release of the additional verification process, doing those tasks has been a nightmare. I was not receiving SMS codes, if I do, it would be days or weeks from the time I was prompted for the code.

 

What I did: Turned on the authenticator app as a form of verification. You will need to log out and log back in but not with your password, you need to log in via the authenticator app. Once I did that, I was able to add a bank account without any more prompts for a code.

 

Another issue came up. The "space" will not type between the First Name and Last Name when entering the Account Name for bank info. This was an easier fix as I decided to type the Full Name on the Google search bar and copied/pasted on the bank account name.

 

 

TLDR: Get rid of the additional verification code within the app, we already verified when we logged in. Or at least have your verification work properly. Some of us need to pay our employees on time.

 

Also see: QBO 2FA does not work. I tried SMS many times. I never receive the code. I tried email many times. I...

Hello there, @user57.

 

I see that you've posted the same question twice, and the other one was already answered by my colleague. Just in case you haven't been notified of the new response, here's the link: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/other-questions/re-sms-verification-code-to-add-ac....

Hello. The previous thread was not resolved so I posted here instead.

 

For context, I know how to check the full number I entered to receive SMS on. I also tried two phone numbers using two different service providers with the same result. I would literally receive SMS from other sources but not from QBO.

I recognize the urgency in getting this resolved, user57. Let me ensure you'll get the best help available so this gets sorted out.

 

Since I'm unable to gather sensitive information on a public platform such as the Community for security reasons, and the issue persists after performing the troubleshooting steps my colleague had posted from the other thread, I suggest contacting our Customer Care Team. They have the necessary tools to take a closer look at what's causing this behavior and guide you with further steps to ensure you'll able to receive these SMS codes.

 

Here's how to reach them: 

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online company and click the Help (?) menu.
  2. Choose either Assistant or Talk to Human to get started.
  3. Search Contact Us.
  4. Start a chat with a support expert.

 

You can check out our support hours to ensure you get hold of our representatives on time.

 

Furthermore, I've included this reference that'll allow you to manage security settings and keep your account information up-to-date: Account Management in QuickBooks Online.

Hi,

As it seems to be a recurrent and not being solved issue, please let me know how to delete the 2 steps authentication process and to leave only email authentication.

Sorry, but I'm in a hurry, with several problems caused by this situation that clearly is a QBO disfunction.

Regards,

Not sure if this will work for you as well but I have since used the Google authenticator app as one way of logging in and doing so seems to remove the SMS verification.
