Why do i have to received a code via email and then a code via the mobile text service to gain access to the systems

Ensuring the security of your QuickBooks Online (QBO) company file is our top priority, Robert. I'm here to explain why you have authentication when logging in to your account and how to turn this off.

Intuit prioritizes data security and uses advanced security measures, such as additional authentication when you log in to your account. Please note that 2-step verification, requiring two forms of identification, is in place to ensure the security of your account.

Before we proceed, let's check if your two-step verification is enabled. If it is, we can turn this off so you can log into your account using only your password. Please be aware that you'll still receive a prompt if you sign in on an unrecognized device.

Here's how:

1. Sign in to your Intuit account.
2. Click Sign in & security from your left menu.
3. Find the 2-step verification tab, then switch it off if enabled.

Please let us know if you want to share some information or have additional questions regarding security verifications, Robert. We'll be around to help you out.
