You can verify your phone number, contact your phone carrier to whitelist the short code 97962, or set up a passkey for your account instead of receiving verification codes via call or text.

 

Your carrier may have blocked messages from Intuit, or a network issue could be causing the error. You can also try using a private/incognito window or another browser to check if this is a browser problem.

 

Please verify your number first to check that it is correct. Here's how:

 

  1. Log in to accounts.intuit.com.
  2. Go to Sign in & Security.
  3. Navigate to the Phone section to confirm.
  4. Once verified, reach out to your phone carrier.

 

Alternatively, you can set up a passkey by following these steps:

 

  1. Sign in to accounts.intuit.com.
  2. Go to Sign in & security.
  3. Select Passkeys.
  4. Choose Add a passkey, then follow the prompts.

 

For more information, please refer to this article: Use passkeys to sign in to your Intuit Account.

 

You can also check this article for another option to secure your account: Secure your Intuit Account and prevent lockout with extra verification methods.
