Step-by-step guide to setting up two-factor authentication on Intuit using an authenticator app.
Download Authenticator App
Before we start, download and install the Authenticator App from your device's App Store.
To setup 2FA for your Intuit account with our Authenticator App, you need to follow the next steps:
Log in to your account on the Intuit website, click your avatar on the right top corner, then select "Settings".
Click "Security".
In the 2-factor authentication section, select the Authenticator App radio button and click Next.
Verify your Intuit password, then click "Submit".
In this step, a QR code containing the secret key is displayed. Next, you need to use our Authenticator App to scan this QR code. Please keep this popup open to complete the setup.
Open our Authenticator App, click the + button at the bottom right of the screen, then hold your device near the computer screen to scan the QR code.
After successfully scanning, a 6-digit code will be shown at the bottom of the screen. Please note that this code refreshes every 30 seconds.
Return to the Intuit webpage, click "Next".
Enter the 6-digit code displayed in step 7, and then click "Next".
Remember to click "Save" in the Authenticator App to save your account, or you may lose access to your account!
Verify your Intuit password again, then click "Submit".
Save the backup code displayed on the confirmation page offline or on a separate device. You'll need the backup code to log in to Intuit if you ever lose, restore, or damage your device.
Click Close.
Now, you have successfully setup 2FA for your Intuit account. From now on, when you attempt to sign in to your Intuit account, you will need to use our Authenticator App.
