I'm using Quickbooks 2020 for Mac and there is no "Preferences" option under the menu "Edit" as posted earlier in this thread.  What is the procedure to stop Intuit from asking me to log in each time I open the file.  

I do NOT use any integrated services offered by Intuit, and I strongly prefer not having to sign in prior to using the software.  

I'm a CPA and I'm going to consider alternatives to Quickbooks and my recommendations to clients will follow.  I'm very frustrated by Intuit's growing intrusion into how its customers use its product.
