How to Keep Your QuickBooks Data Safe from Scams

Scammers frequently target QuickBooks users. While Intuit has strong security measures, you also need to take precautions to protect your account.

1. Never Share Your Sign-In Info

🚨 Intuit will NEVER call, email, or text asking for your password or one-time passcode.

Scammers often pose as Intuit employees—ignore and report any suspicious requests. More info: Intuit Security Tips.

2. Strengthen Your Security

✔️ Update your phone number for account recovery.
✔️ Use an authenticator app instead of SMS for better security.
✔️ Keep your profile updated (name, address) for identity verification.
✔️ Set a unique, strong password and don’t reuse it across sites.

Update these settings at Intuit Accounts.

3. Watch for Common Scams

⚠️ Fake Tech Support Calls – Intuit will never ask for remote access to your computer.
⚠️ Phishing Emails & Texts – Don’t click links in unexpected messages.
⚠️ Fake Invoices & Payments – Always verify before sending money.

4. If You Suspect Fraud, Contact Intuit

📞 Report issues at Intuit Support.

By staying vigilant and securing your account, you can keep your QuickBooks data safe from scams.
