Account management
I hear all your sentiments about logging in to QuickBooks that requires a password, @SaveAg.
As mentioned by my colleagues, a password is designed to protect your critical data such as your Social Security Number, Company EIN, Bank Information (Routing Number, Account Number), or Vendor Tax ID inside the software. This isn't a requirement from IRS, instead, the software is designed to ensure that your clients’, vendors’, and employees’ information are protected.
On the other hand, you have the option to keep yourself logged in for a maximum of 90 days. You can utilize this while we're unable to turn off the password prompt. You'll be logged out after that, and you can use the reset tool in case you forget your password.
I'm also sharing this link to learn more about the relevance to have protection when signing in to the software: Password security for QuickBooks Desktop.
Keep me posted if you have further questions about login passwords. I'm always around to help. Stay safe!
