This is not about account security. I have nothing in my Company File that is financial or confidential. I have no data to keep secure. I am a one-person company and do my banking by hand. My QB desktop lives on my own secured laptop in a private, secure location. Requiring me to use a password on my desktop software is in no way about any kind of security. It is obviously just data mining to sell my personal information and expose my files to the internet. There is no other explanation that is logical.
