I have tried multiple times to verify my phone number (by both SMS and voice) but the required code never arrives. Is there an issue with receiving SMS codes in Ireland ?

My purpose in verifying my phone is so that Ican then set up two factor authentication.

I have tried multiple times to verify my phone number (by both SMS and voice) but the required code never arrives. Is there an issue with receiving SMS codes in Ireland ?

Hello there, @padraig1. I'm here, and I'll help you get through this so you can successfully set up a two-step verification in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.

 

A possible reason for this is the number you entered in your intuit account is incorrect. You'll want to ensure that the digits you've added is accurate and that it's for the device you're using. To check, here's how:

 

  1. Log in to your Intuit account.
  2. Go to Sign In & Security.
  3. Verify your phone number.

 

If everything checks out and the issue persists, try accessing your intuit account in an incognito or private window. From there, set up the two-step verification. Use these shortcut keys to access incognito or private browsing mode:

 

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + N on your keyboard for Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox.
  • Press Command + Shift + N for Safari.

 

You can also consider resetting your device's time setting and enabling Set Automatically. If this setting was already enabled, please disable it for a few seconds before re-enabling it.  It allows your phone to receive delayed messages.
