Does anyone know a way to fix this issue below...?
I'm use my email address and password to login to Quickbooks Online on macOS. Next I'm prompted for SMS verification and it shows the last 4 digits of my mobile number. It doesn't work, so I use email verification which does work. Next, I go to the gear icon > Accountant View > Manage Users > Add User > enter in first and last name and email address, then click Next. On this screen, Intuit/QBO requires SMS verification only and it's not working! Meanwhile, my CPA is sitting on a video chat screen and I'm unable to provide him with access. As we know CPA's aren't cheap. What also should be embarrassing to QBO is that their chat support, including the supervisors are baffled by this simple issue as if I'm asking them to help me with API integrations. Oh, and the CPA is a Quickbooks Online Pro Advisor.
If anyone knows a workaround, I'd be grateful to hear how you did it.
This platform is so so outdated and clunky. Sigh...
I hear your sentiments, and I wish I could make your support experience better, @danpnyla.
Let me share a few reasons why the SMS verification code is not working. Before doing so, would you mind telling me if you received the security code but won't go through or if you didn't receive any of it at all?
If you're not getting it, you can double-check the following:
If you received a code but it is not working, this is most likely because you have generated multiple codes and are not using the most recent one. You can perform the steps below to rectify this.
Please keep in mind that some email platforms append emails from the same sender, so your latest code may display as a response or reply to one of the earlier codes.
If you have access to your Intuit account, I recommend checking the number you added. When entering a phone number, make sure to select the correct country and include the area code. You can edit it if necessary.

I am not getting an SMS or voice call to verify the code, but my mobile number is verified and I'm pretty certian it was working before. I have now also tried my home number via voice call, and another mobile number of voice or SMS and neither is working. HELP!

I have had the same issues on several occasions now. I need to add bank info and mobile numbers (edit) of our employees and contractors. To do so, I need to do an SMS verification, which never comes. It's so frustrating.
Thanks for reaching out to the Community forum, @user57.
I appreciate you for reaching out to us about your account access. I can help you get back on track with accessing QuickBooks Online.
One of the possible reasons why you haven't received a verification code through text is that the phone number entered into your Intuit account was incorrect. Though you see the correct last four digits of your phone number upon requesting the code, the rest of the number may be wrong.
To verify this, I encourage logging in to your Intuit account and going to the Sign In & Security section. From there, check the phone number being registered. Here's how:
If it's incorrect, change the phone number by clicking the Verify link. Just go back to the Sign in and Security tab and click the Verify link beside the Phone section, and hit Change. Then, enter your Password in the field and click Save when done.
