Hello, Borikwa! We greatly appreciate your ongoing participation in the Community space. We want to assure you that experiencing runtime problems that can disrupt your business activities with QuickBooks is not our intention. Our goal is to help you resolve your concern promptly.

 

We sincerely appreciate your decision to entrust QuickBooks Online (QBO) with the management of your business operations. We understand the importance of logging in to your account. We're here to help ensure you're able to log in to your QuickBooks account. Occasionally, QuickBooks may exhibit unusual behavior due to browser-related issues. In such cases, you can resolve the problem by following some basic troubleshooting procedures.

 

To begin, log in to your QuickBooks account and attempt the activity again using a private browsing window. The keyboard shortcuts are as follows:

 

  • Safari: Command + Shift + N
  • Google Chrome: CTRL + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge: CTRL + Sh

 

If this approach proves successful, you can switch back to your regular browser and proceed to clear your browsing history. Additionally, we recommend trying a different supported browser, as the version of QuickBooks you are currently using may be experiencing a temporary malfunction.

 

If the issue persists, feel free to read the Get Help if you can't sign in to your account article for more information. This is a scenario-based troubleshooting guide to help resolve your login issues.

 

If you need to change your user ID, password, email address, or phone number, refer to this link for the complete steps: Update or change your Intuit Account sign-in information.

 

We appreciate your cooperation and patience throughout this process. Let me know if you need further assistance. We want to ensure you can access your QuickBooks smoothly. We are here to help. Take care, and I wish you continued success.

I can see the importance of logging in to your account, @Barbara. I'm here to help ensure you're able to log in to your QuickBooks account.

 

I'd like to check if you've tried the recommended steps above. If that didn't work, we can proceed with some troubleshooting steps to identify the root cause of the problem.

 

Firstly, please verify your login credentials. Make sure that you have entered the correct email address and password for your QuickBooks Online account. Pay attention to capitalization, special characters, or spaces in your login details. 

 

Next, check your internet connection. Ensure that your new computer has a stable and reliable internet connection. You can confirm this by accessing other websites.

 

It's important to use recommended browsers and keep them updated for optimal compatibility and functionality while accessing QBO. Here are the supported browsers and their latest versions: 

 

- Google Chrome: version 78 or newer

 - Mozilla Firefox: version 76 or newer 

- Microsoft Edge: version 79 or newer 

- Safari: version 12 or newer (Mac only)

 - Opera: version 68 or newer

 - Samsung: version 10 or newer

 

I have collected several articles regarding account recovery and ensuring device compatibility with QuickBooks.

 

 

Let me know if you need any further clarification or assistance along the way. I'll be around to help. Take care and stay safe always.

    Note: If you don’t see your email address, select Don’t see your email in the list above? and follow the onscreen instructions.
  4. Enter the token from your email.

 

For QuickBooks 2019 and earlier:

 

  1. Open QuickBooks Desktop. From the login window, select I forgot my password.


     
  2. Fill out the necessary information, like the license number, name, email address, phone number, and ZIP code on the form.
  3. Review the information, then select OK. You'll get a code to the primary email listed in your CAMPS.
  4. Once done, QuickBooks will guide you through creating a new admin password.

I'm here to ensure you can log in to your account, HG9427.

 

If you're using the QuickBooks Desktop 2020 version or later, it is advisable to reset your password. I'll outline the steps below for your easy navigation.

 

  1. Open your QuickBooks company file.
  2. Select I forgot my password.
  3. Click an email, then select Next.
  4. Enter the token from your email.

 

Please note that QBDT version 2019 and earlier are no longer supported because they are outdated.

 

Moreover, if you're on QBO but still have access to your phone or email on file, you can still access your account. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to our sign-in help page
  2. Enter your phone number, email address, or your user ID.
  3. When you have the verification code we sent, enter it or follow the instructions in the message.
  4. You can now reset your password, or you can select Skip.

 

Once you're back in your account, you may want to change the email address, phone number, and password or go right to your product.

 

If you haven’t already, we recommend adding a phone number to your account to receive verification codes for future sign-in attempts.

 

In addition, you can follow this article if you need to reset your password or recover your User ID for your QuickBooks Online account: Manage Log In Credentials.

 

I'm always here if you need more help logging in to your account. Enjoy the rest of the day.
