Unable to log in to Quickbooks

I had to shut down and restart .  When I tried to login I could not do so with my previous password, so I went to create a new password.   They asked me for my previous  password and  it would not accept it.  Can your help me?

I appreciate for doing some basic troubleshooting steps on your end, @5513.

 

Changing your password is my top priority, so you're able to get back to your business. With this, I'd suggest doing the steps that user Ralph Bush shared above to get rid of the issue. 

 

Let's open your QuickBooks account again, then enter the new password you've created where it said old or previous password. Then re-type the same password in the New and Confirm Password field. After that, you'll be able to log in to your account. 

 

For example: 

 

  • Previous: Intuit@2020
  • New: Intuit@2020
  • Confirm: Intuit@2020

For more details about the process, you may visit the Automated Password Reset Tool link that my colleagues provided over.  Please proceed to the second to the last steps.  

 

I've also added an article about managing your company information, data, security, and other related topics. 

 

 

Let me know if you're able to log in. I want to ensure everything is taken care of.

I'm trying hard to log in to PAY QUICKBOOKS to renew my subscription.  There are two authorized users: the owner who knows nothing about quickbooks/computers/accounting and the old admin person who is no longer here. It says to contact QuickBooks to update this info BUT I CANT. I have tried every version of email/phone number/password possible with no luck. Plase help. I can get into quickboolks to work but I need to update my subscription and apparently that's a different set of IDs

Hello @gjakobylhilightingsales! Thank you for reaching out to the Community with your login issue. May I ask if you're trying to login to QuickBooks Desktop or QuickBooks Online? 

 

Here's a great resource for customers to manage their account, including login issues: Account Management Resources.

 

Another suggestion I have is to take a look at the above answers from other agents. They address both Online and Desktop login issues and might apply to your situation as well.

 

Once I get that additional info, I’m happy to help continue troubleshooting! Just reply to this post when you're ready. :)

Unable to log in to Quickbooks

I was sent an email saying my employer had sent my 1099 via intuit quickbooks. When I tried to set up an account it said I already had one (what? not that I know of). Of course I have no idea what the password is, didn't even know I had this account. Tried to re-set the password and after jumping through a lot of hoops, I was able to re-set it, but when I try to log in, I  keep getting "There's an error on our end." So am stuck. And it's super helpful that when you call the 800 number and the bot asks what the issue is and you say unable to log in, the reply is " the only way you can get help or a callback from an expert is to log into your account and...." I CANNOT LOG IN!

Thanks for joining in this conversation, @sparkerart. I want to ensure you can access your account to view the 1099 your employer has sent you. 

 

It could be that your email has previously signed up for any of Intuit's products. That's why the system has prompted you that you already had one. 

 

Good point on successfully resetting your password. Now, let's fix the error you're getting by performing some basic troubleshooting steps. 

 

First, let's use a private browser or incognito window to eliminate any browser history that may cause a glitch inside QuickBooks. You can refer to the following keyboard shortcuts below:

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
  • Safari: Command + Shift + N

 

If this fixes the issue, close out the private window and clear the cache on the regular browser. Otherwise, use other supported browsers to help narrow down the cause of this behavior.

 

If you have any other questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask. I'll always be around to help. Have a great day!

Thank you for the reply. I don't think it's a browser issue, as it is happening on multiple devices - lapop, pc, etc.

Every time I try to log in from any device I get an error message saying "There's an issue on our end. We're on it." See attached photo. However, everyone that received this email from our employer has been unable to get in, so she may have done something incorrect when she set it up. We are all giving up, she is sending us our 1099s via the mail.

I appreciate you joining in this thread, Gravity.

 

I'm here to help you with reconciling your account and ensure the balances are equal.

 

In QuickBooks Desktop, eliminating or adding a reconciled transaction will affect your beginning balance for the next reconciliation.

 

To isolate the issue, you might want to check if there were changes made to your transactions. You can pull up and run the Audit Trail report to see if there are any modifications.

 

 

If there were transactions that have been changed, voided, or delete it will not balance your accounts. It would be best to have the old copy of the reconciliation while redoing it so you can determine what's missing and what's been changed. Doing so will help you ensure the accuracy of your financial records.

 

However, if there no changes, verifying and rebuilding your data is a good start when it comes to fixing data-related issues in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

To Verify Data:

 

  1. Click Window at the top menu bar, then Close All.
  2. From the File menu, choose Utilities.
  3. Tap Verify Data.

 

To Rebuild Data:

 

  1. Click Window at the top menu bar, then Close All.
  2. From the File menu, choose Utilities.
  3. Hit Rebuild Data.
  4. You will receive a warning message to backup your company file, press OK.
  5. Click OK when you get the message "Rebuild has completed".

 

You can refer to the following write-up to help guide you in reconciling your accounts in QuickBooks Desktop: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Desktop. This will provide you link as well on how to deal with discrepancies.

 

Let me know if you still need help with this or if you ran into a different situation by adding a reply below so I can look further into this. I want to make sure your balances are accurate and you're able to reconcile them. Have a lovely week.

I have been using the same log in for over a year, and I cannot log in.  I am still getting emails at the email address that is my log in.  Please help!

Hello, mrsbossmba.

 

I have one more solution to help you log in to your account before we escalate this. 

 

What error did you receive when you tried logging in to your account? An error message would definitely help me come up with a solution to fix the login issue. 

 

Also, you can use the I forgot my user ID and password utility to reset your login details. 

 

  1. On the login page, click the I forgot my user ID and password link.
  2. In the box, enter your email address or phone number associated with your account. 
  3. Click Continue.
  4. Continue with the prompts to reset your login details. 

 

If you're still unable to log in after resetting your credentials, you'll want to contact our support. They can pull up your account details securely and help you fix the login issue. 

 

You can use this direct chat link to message a support agent. 

 

When you're finally logged in, you can work on your books for your business. Feel free to check our articles if you need help with your transactions, lists and in other areas in QuickBooks. 

 

You can create a new thread if you have other questions in QuickBooks Online. My colleagues and I will be there to respond with guides, details and pointers.
