Hello there, Ewan. The process for reconnecting your bank account in QuickBooks Online (QBO) that requires 2-Factor authentication (2FA) varies by financial institution.

 

Since different banks have different processes, may I know which bank you're trying to reconnect to? This information would help us provide a tailored approach.

 

Moreover, you can follow the steps below to reconnect your bank account with 2FA in QuickBooks.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to All apps, then Accounting.
  2. Select Bank transactions.
  3. Choose the bank account that shows an error or needs reconnection.
  4. Hit the pencil icon and click Edit sign-in info or Link account (if previously disconnected).
  5. Enter your bank's usual login credentials.
  6. When your bank prompts for 2FA, approve the login in your banking app or enter the SMS/code your bank provides.
  7. Follow the online prompts to establish a connection.
