Regarding the "we've started our Desktop One Intuit Identity login on File Creation. This is for users who indicated that they are the Admin/Primary for the file." comment - as an accountant/pro-advisor who consistently sets up company files for clients to use, this new requirement is a major hinderance to this part of my job. If I don't say I am the Admin/Primary for the file then I cannot create the company file, if I do say I am the Admin/Primary for the file then my Intuit sign-in is required and will be attached to the file which then poses the problem of me NOT being the Admin/Primary once I hand the file off to the client. I understand the need for the Intuit accounts and having them in place for certain areas of the program that go online and I understand that some of these security requirements are being required by the IRS. What I don't understand is why the use of usernames and passwords that have been in place for years now to lock certain areas (like payroll direct deposit and credit card information access) has now evolved to being a requirement to have an intuit.com account attached in order to create and use a company and why we as users cannot choose to not connect the overall program. What happens when the Admin/Primary user is on vacation and the Intuit account sign-in is required? Someone else can put that information in but then a verification code will be generated - and guess where that code is going? To that person on vacation with no cell phone or internet access, that's who. So now the Quickbooks file cannot be accessed - that can cause major problems.
