Intuit has to be getting a message on these password comments.  The only bank info I have to protect in my QB is my own bank account; likewise there is no personal 3rd party info.  So the password nonsense is a totally unnecessary and annoying reminder every single time I log on to work on my various businesses/investments, that I truly can't stand this idiotic requirement and it should be OPTIONAL.   Please pass this along to the marketing folks:  How many cars would Honda sell if every time the driver sat down to drive they had to punch in an 8 digit code ... would not matter if it was the best car on the planet.  This is a coding issue and my bet is it can be fixed easily and patched in.  I already have password protection and firewalls, etc...; believe me if somebody gets to my stand-alone system and cracks those codes, they'll get much more useful personal data than my bank account number plugged in to QB.  For pete's sake fix this.
