I've had the same desktop for 6 or 7 years, I can sometimes have OTHER Proseries software programs open, but the **bleep** software now randomly insists that I prove it is me by texting me a code and, BTW, offering no other method of proving it. What if my phone is lost or broken in the middle of tax season? I have to shut down my businesss?

I am so tired of all the faux security crap.

Make sure you know a location that sells smartphones, so if something happens to yours, then you have to run out there immediately and get a new one. It seems like everywhere they are going overboard with this security matter.

I get my codes by telegraph so I think I am safe for now.

@IRonMaN  That is a little bit better than Brother Cooley's method before he retired. He was still using carrier pigeons. But Brother Cooley is still #1.

Yeah, but he would always lose a few of them during hunting season
