is it possible to get verification codes for banking by more than one method, text or email?

Hi there, bridget15. When you see a prompt for a verification code while updating your bank transactions in QuickBooks Online, the request comes directly from your bank’s security system, not from QuickBooks itself.
 

QuickBooks simply acts as a window to display your bank’s security requirements so you can authorize the connection. Because of this, QuickBooks cannot add, change, or control the delivery methods that appear in the prompt.

To explore additional verification options, I recommend contacting your bank’s support team or logging in to your bank’s website to review the available settings, since these options are managed entirely by your bank.
