Hi there, @middlefinger.

Let me share with you why this prompt shows in your intuit account window. 

As we tighten our security to safeguard our customer's account, we've started our Desktop One Intuit Identity login on File Creation. This is for users who indicated that they are the Admin/Primary for the file. 

Its primary purpose is to create a company Realm that will be the common access for users who's using the Payroll and Payments services.
