Troubling signing in with password

Whenever I sign into Quickbooks and enter my username and password, it always tells me that there's an error with my password and I then have to sign in using my phone (it sends a code to my phone and I enter the code) but it's very annoying and an additional step each time. I have updated my password a couple times already but the password itself is sound, so not sure why this keeps happening? Does anyone else experience this and have a solve?

Let's make sure you'll be able to sign in to your account without issues, mrswombat.

 

May I know what error message are you getting? This will help me determine what steps I should provide to help fix the issue.

 

In the meantime, let's perform some troubleshooting steps so we can fix this. Sometimes your browser is full of frequently accessed page resources that may cause some unusual responses. You can log into your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account using an incognito (private window) to isolate the issue. I've provided the shortcuts keys below to show you how:

 

  • Google Chrome: press Ctrl + Shift + N.
  • Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl + Shift + P.
  • Internet Explorer: press Ctrl + Shift + P.
  • Safari: press Command + Shift + N

After that, double-check if you're able to sign. If so, return to your default browser and clear the cache. This lets you get rid of any pre-filled passwords, especially password managers and system settings with a stored password for the site. Aside from that this lets you work with a clean slate. 

 

Moving forward, you'll also have to make sure to close and reopen your browser before you sign back into your account. 

 

Additionally, if you're experiencing different issues and concerns when logging in, you can check out this article to give you other sign-in tips and troubleshooting steps: Recover Your Intuit Account If You Can't Sign In.

 

Keep me posted if you have any questions when logging into your account. I'll always be right here to help you anytime.
