Good day, @arkvalleyinfo.

 

Thanks for taking the time to post here in the Community. Allow me to help share some details about how to make your computer trusted so you won't have to receive a code every time you log in.

 

You'll need to turn off the opt-in two-step verification on your profile so you will no longer have to enter code upon logging in into QuickBooks.

 

Here's how:

  1. Log in to your Intuit Online Account.
  2. Click on the Gear icon.
  3. Select on User Profile.
  4. Refer to the Two-step verification section and turn it off. 
  5. Click on Done.

For more details about this process, please refer to this article: How do I enable or disable the opt-in two-step verification?.

 

I also included some screenshots below to visualize the steps:

 

That should do it, @arkvalleyinfo.

 

Please let me know if I can be of additional assistance. I'll be around to help you out. Have a great day!

I think she was hoping to use the two factor sign-in generally, but just not have to do codes on her trusted work or home computer?

 

But there doesn't seem to be an option to 'trust this device in the future' when you sign in.

 

Maybe installing an authentication app on the phone, which does seem to be an option, would alleviate the burden of typing in the code everytime, while still having 2-factor sign in

It depends on your browser, @Adrian Polit!

 

You can add the Intuit or QuickBooks site as one of the trusted websites of your browser so you won't be required to enter codes every time log in to your account.

 

To do so:

  1. Go to the Hamburger icon.
  2. Tap Settings.
  3. Hit Advanced
  4. Under Privacy and Settings, select Site Settings.
  5. Select Cookies.
  6. Click Allow.

I've got you this article to learn more about how you can add a trusted website in your browser: Adding Intuit as a trusted site.

 

I've also included our QuickBooks Online Help Articles hub in case you need some easy steps for your How do I tasks.
