Hello All!

From time to time Quickbooks wants to send me verification code to my email account as an additional logging step, is it possible to turn it off, so after user is verified once it only requires login and password for accessing system?

I can share some information about turning off QuickBooks email verification, lukaszkot.

 

That verification process is a security enhancement on top of the usual password requirement. It works as an extra layer of security wherein a one-time confirmation code is given when you log in.

 

You'll just have to log in to your Intuit account to turn that off. 

 

Follow the steps below:

 

  1. Go to this link: Intuit account and then use your QuickBooks Online (QBO) credentials.
  2. Choose Sign In & Security and then go to the Two-step verification section, and select Turn-off.
  3. Enter the code, then select Continue.

 

For more information about turning off two-step verification if you're using the same or different phone number check out this article: Verify your QuickBooks Online account with multi-factor authentication or two-step verification.

 

In case you encounter errors when going to your account, follow the steps outlined in the following article on how to resolve them: Fix common sign-in errors in QuickBooks Online.

 

You can always get back to this thread if you need further help turning off email verification. I'm always here to assist. Have a great rest of the day.

Hi!

Thank you for quick response. 2FA verification is turned off on my side, but still from time to time ( once in few days, sometimes once in few hours, hard to find any regularity to be honest ) it wants to send code. Any ideas how to get rid off it?

Appreciate the time you've taken in sharing your experience, @lukaszkot. I want to ensure this matter is addressed timely by sharing additional insights about multifactor authentication in QuickBooks Online.

 

To begin with, the captcha and code system is one of the needed authentications upon logging in to your account for security reasons. Yes, two-factor authentication mostly happens for fresh login attempts.

 

Have you performed some troubleshooting recently, like clearing the cache of the current browser you're using? This can be the reason why the multifactor authentication has been triggered and you're asked to complete the process upon logging in to your account.

 

On that same page, the preferences you made for the accounts displayed upon successful logins can be removed along with the settings made after performing a few troubleshooting steps.

 

Meanwhile, several factors as described above may trigger additional login confirmation to ensure you're logged in with trusted credentials. And, no browser settings to set up these preference since Intuit products is not in control of these factors.

 

For now, I'm including this reference so you're able to use all the features and functions of QuickBooks: Help Articles in QuickBooks Online. Also, you're able to read subtopics that will describe how a feature is used and how to accomplish tasks related to its functions.

 

If you have any other questions about logging in to your account and working with the features in QuickBooks, please let me know in the comments below. Don't forget to include my name, @JonpriL, in your follow-up response and I'll be here to lend a helping hand.


Being specific mostly run chrome browser in headless mode, which is used in test automation process. When I troubleshoot this it shows me that Intuit wants to send code each time during logging process. If chrome run in regular way, not headless, then code verification is triggered only once in a while. Do you know maybe why Intuit's behaves differently in different modes?
