I support your position here, @CertifiedSecurityEngineer.
Aside from protecting sensitive data, QuickBooks Desktop also requires users to have a password in compliance with security and privacy as accounting software.
I appreciate you letting us know about your thoughts. That said, I will pass this along to our Product Team so they can consider adding a feature with an advanced setting for power users that'll disable the password.
As always, you can visit our QuickBooks Product Updates site to keep you in the loop about the latest news and updates.
Know that I'm here to provide further assistance if you need it. Wishing you a beautiful holiday season!
