Question

When I go to update our information with our bank, the verify info email goes to the wrong email address. How do I change this so it comes to me?

A box pops up under the Banking section stating that Security info is needed. It says, 'Mind if we verify that you're you? We do this from time to time to protect your info. (185). And then there is a button to click on Verify your info. When I click it, it automatically sends an email to the wrong email address, not mine.

Hi there, @cneumyer-mission. 

 

Error 185 indicates that your bank needs additional information from you after you enter your login credentials. This implies that your financial institution has implemented extra security measures, such as a security question or a one-time passcode, that you need to provide in order to proceed.

 

With this, make sure to enter your correct login credentials to avoid issues with email verification.

 

Moreover, if your bank or FI asks you a security question, you'll have to answer that. You may see this error again the next time you update if you have multiple security questions. As you enter your answers, QuickBooks Online remembers the security questions you have been asked and answers for you. Then, if your bank or FI asks for an OTP, you'll get an OTP (on a device, through text, call, etc.) and enter it each time you see Error 185.

 

If you do not see the security question pop up, you might need to check another browser or disable the Popup blocker on your browser.
