This is not the impression we want you to experience, paul83.
QuickBooks requires a password when opening your company file to secure sensitive information. This protects you and your customers’ information. That said, we're unable to remove the Password Security. All users who have the Credit Card Protection feature on or whose data contains sensitive information will be asked to set up a password. QuickBooks detects the presence of the following data and ensures strong control with the following:
- Employee and Employer Social Security Number
- Employer EIN
- Employer Bank Details (Routing Number, Account Number)
- Vendor Tax ID
For additional reference, please refer to this article: Password Security for QuickBooks Desktop. On the other hand, we have the option to stay logged in to your QuickBooks company file, to which you're no longer required to log in every time you open your company file. Instead, you only have to log in with your username and password once the extended period has expired, or when you've explicitly logged off from the company file. The Admin can choose how long a user can remain logged in, with a maximum of 90 days (default is 2 days). The admin can enable this option using the steps below:
- Go to the Company menu.
- Select Set Up Users and Passwords and choose Managuie Login Settings.
- Under the Manage Login Settings section, select Keep user logged for and choose 1, 7, 30, 60, or 90 days.
- Click OK.
When this option is enabled, a user can close or exit QuickBooks and still be able to open the Company File, without having to enter their login credentials. You can check out this article for further information: Stay logged in to the QuickBooks company file.
However, if you're having difficulties logging in as Admin, you can check out this article to help you: Reset your password for QuickBooks Desktop.
