QB Pro requires an Intuit Account

I have contacted chat support about this and they were completely useless other than trying to up-sell me. I have attached an image of the email my user received about the new Intuit account being required for administrators when using the Desktop product. I need a few questions answered: 

1. From what I have read, this is being implemented for better security, yet I can't find any documentation about the security which makes me a little nervous about connecting to online anything via our software, especially where it concerns Intuit since the email provides no information on whether or not any of the data in our company file will be exfiltrated. Is there any documentation on the safety of our data? 

2. We have 5 concurrent users with our Desktop Pro licensing. (2x3 user licenses) Does this impact multi-user environments and are there gotchas for that? I assume they will be able to continue with their usernames that were created in the Desktop software (not Intuit accounts)?

3. I have a "primary contact" Intuit account for our software licenses. I also have an authorized contact (for purchasing checks) attached to our account. Do I HAVE to use the primary contact Intuit account for the admin or can I use an authorized Intuit account associated with our license/account? 

 

Hopefully someone can point me to the information or answer it directly!

 

Thank you!
