Question

Can't receive verification code via text or call.

My main account (with a QBO subscription) can't receive codes via text or call that's why i created another intuit account, and this account can receive without any delays or errors. I tried using different devices and browsers but the issue still the same. Anyone got ideas how to fix this or know the possible root cause?

 

To clarify, i can log-in to my main QBO account but not when i go to my Intuit account.

Hi Lala626, thanks for posting in the QuickBooks Community! Let's figure this out. A few things to check on your main Intuit account:

 

  1. Go to accounts.intuit.com > Sign in & security and confirm the phone number on file is correct and is a mobile number (landlines can't receive MFA codes).
  2. If the number looks right, try contacting your phone carrier and ask them to whitelist short code 97962 . Your mobile carrier may have flagged or blocked automated messages coming from Intuit's specific short-code sender ID for your main user profile.
  3. As a workaround, you can also set up an authenticator app (like Google Authenticator) instead of relying on text or call. Go to accounts.intuit.com > Sign in & security > Authenticator to set it up.

 

Also, is the phone number on your main account the same one you used for the new Intuit account?
