Why did I get a text on login that had a phone number that is not mine?
Bob MacDonald
I recently updated and had to login though it was not needed for local work. Eventually I logged in successfully. I received an expected text for two-factor id on password change. Then sometime later I received another text with an incorrect phone number. I deleted it - suspected phishing.

Hi
@Bob MacDonald
. Does this Support Article explain what you saw?:
https://www.quicken.com/support/why-am-i-being-asked-verify-my-email-or-phone-number
. Scroll down about 1/2-way and it shows a text message with a phone number that Quicken texts come from...it is not a request to call that number. It was a point of confusion regarding possible spoofing/spam for many Quicken users last Oct/Nov but it is not spoofing/spamming. I have not seen anyone posting about it lately until now.

If that happens again, please do remember to "collect the evidence". Keep the suspect message and/or grab an image snapshot of what's on your screen. Smartphones have a special keystroke sequence or button combination you can press to grab a screen snapshot and save it to an image file (on my Samsung you press both volume-down and power buttons at the same time).
