Even major governments that move at glacial speeds recognize that forced password expiration does not improve security.

 

QuickBooks is becoming infuriating every time I switch between companies.

 

First, on a properly secured computer with an encrypted hard drive, QuickBooks password adds absolutely no additional security.

 

Second, users should decide if they need a password, not QuickBooks.

 

Third, if you're going to ram it down our throats, you could at least adopt modern password guidance.
