Thank you for sharing your feedback, @CertifiedSecurityEngineer.

I understand how you feel about the password requirement we have here in QuickBooks. I’ll surely take note of your feedback and share this idea to our Product Development team right away.

This password protection is important for those users whose files contain sensitive data such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, and employer identification numbers.

For now, you can visit the QuickBooks Blog to check for new updates and features that we have. 

Stay in touch if you have other concerns by leaving a comment below. I'm always glad to help in any way I can.
