Welcome and thank you for joining the thread, @Disappointed loyal user.
I'm here to share some information about password security in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
For the security of your critical data, QBDT requires passwords for data files to meet certain complexity requirements. Passwords required/must be changed every 90 days. QuickBooks prompts you to change your password near the end of the 90 days as well as on the expiration date itself.
You'll be asked to change the password if you have Personally Identifiable Information (PII) entered to your company. This includes the employee and a company social security number, company EIN, company bank details (routing number, account number), or vendor tax ID.
The only way to stop the password protection is to remove this information from the company file. However, this won't be the smart thing to do. If you think the option of removing the password is what you need for your business, I suggest sending this idea straight to our product developers/engineers.
