Stop Requiring a code on the cell phone when I've been using the computer all day

[aaron_akabas]

I understand if I haven't used the program in a while, you should verify that I am the user. And I understand if I have left it open and not moved the mouse in hours. But when I have been in and out of files all day and back and forth through files and different years and individual and partnership files, it gets old very quickly to have to grab the cell phone every time I switch files and get the code and type it in as well as the password.

Security is important, but let's consider here whether someone is really going to steal all the files or all the information just because you require an extra step. People also leave their cellular telephones lying around on their desks at work, so that's not going to guarantee safety.

I agree with this comment, I spend more than an hour a day looking form my cellphone just to enter the code between Lacerate various years and QB Online, Desktop.  I counted the other day and I have more than 28 two factor verification's in one day.

This was back in 2016, but it's a reminder that the real threat to security is Intuit or IRS getting hacked. One thing I remember from my IRS Basic Management class, is the discussion of why we build six-foot chain-link fences around Service Centers.  Is it to stop the casual bomber?  No, it's not for security, it's only to create the appearance of security. 

A teenager spent 10 to 15 hours between school classes on his laptop, hacking websites belonging to the US Defense Department .

But, instead of getting into trouble, David Dworken was actually THANKED for finding vulnerabilities before US adversaries did.

The 18-year-old was one of two people praised by Secretary of Defense Ash Carter at the Pentagon on Friday.

Carter said: "We know that state-sponsored actors and black-hat hackers want to challenge and exploit our networks.
