This is of course utter nonsense. That's the polite version. You are being paid to peddle this BS, and while I appreciate your position it's still BS. QB Desktop users as a group have already chosen to go the stand alone desktop version because we don't want, or need, to be tied into logging into Intuit, or any other site in the great clown cloud. We don't need or want your help with our security. In fact, we understand that the mear act of logging into an Intuit decreases our security significantly. That's just one of the reasons we chose stand alone desktop. Intuit succeeded in sneaking in a software change that none of us wanted and all of us want removed. Intuit knew beforehand that this would be unwanted, which is why the change was made without informing us that it would be packed into a maintenance update. Sneaky! Unethical! Intuit! Not to be trusted! All the more reason to not ever log into Intuit with QB software!
