Hello Bill51,
I’ve seen a lot of discussions regarding the password requirement in QuickBooks Desktop. We ee explain to users that we’re protecting your data, and your clients, employees, and vendors as well. I also assume that you’ve already read the articles with explanations as to why we require it.
I’ve answered a similar question two months ago, which I shared the option to Stay Logged-in for 90 days. You might want to consider this one with discretion. Please check this out: https://intuit.me/31whKXm
On the other hand, I’ll let our engineers know about your suggestion about making the password optional.
If there's anything you want to add about the password requirement, feel free to visit us back in the Community.
