Let me clear things up for you regarding verifying your account. In QuickBooks, we are committed to securing every bit of information of our customers by providing advanced security such as multi-factor authentication and two-step verification. To verify your account thoroughly, we need you to follow the advanced security features in QBO for security purposes.
Multi-factor authentication is a security method that requires users to provide multiple forms of identification to access a website or application. Whenever you log in, it will send a one-time confirmation code to your email or mobile device that you'll need to enter to gain access or verify your account.
Also, you can't turn this off since it's a core component to help us protect financial data and make sure that you're the one who is using your account.
On the other hand, two-step verification is a security feature that requires an additional code sent to your mobile phone to confirm your identity when you access your Intuit Account. This additional step adds an extra layer of security to your account, making it more challenging for unauthorized access to occur.
If you're using this feature, you'll have to verify each time you sign in to your account. Also, updating your phone number linked to your Intuit Account will automatically turn off two-step verification.
