Thank you for joining us here in the Community, @JacobsHaus.
It is not the impression I want you to have when you open your company file in QuickBooks Desktop. You can protect your data and account by logging into your Intuit account and confirming your identity. It is to ensure that you and you alone may access your account.
We have improved user experience and security protocols for the QuickBooks Desktop software user by requiring the account owner to register into Intuit when opening the Company file. Access to all of the offerings, including our owned software and linked services, is made possible by having an account. This login provides privacy and convenience.
I appreciate you following the steps in this thread. Since you still have the same issue, I'll walk you through another way to turn it off.
Here's how:
- Go to the Company menu.
- Select My Company.
- Log in to your account.
Then save your Primary Admin credentials. Once done, QuickBooks Desktop will ask you to log in to your account every 180 days.
I recommend checking some helpful information about QuickBooks Desktop to familiarize yourself with its features.

regarding this reply, please familiarize yourself with Intuit's legal terms of use. I quote a fellow QB user:
"You may want to read Intuit's legal page as that page clearly states the purpose is to track us.
Logging in to Intuit has nothing to do with our data being secure. Our data is not stored on Intuit's server."
