Let me share further insights about the security and access verification process in QuickBooks Online (QBO), Michael.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) enhances security in QBO by requiring a one-time confirmation code sent to you via email or mobile device during login.
Additionally, the timeout feature in QBO adds security by preventing unauthorized access. The default is 1 hour, but you can change it to a maximum of 3 hours. Here’s how:
Go to the Gear icon.
Select Account and Settings.
Choose the Advanced tab.
Go to the Other Preferences section.
In the Sign me out if inactive for drop-down arrow, choose 3 hours.
