This has NOTHING to do with entering the email address.

Intuit requires all Quickbooks users to login every 7 days, to a local, unconnected file that has NO online services. It requires a password. This is absurd. We don't need to relogin to ONLINE services or to check our online accounts when we don't have any! 

Intuit needs to add an option to turn that nonsense off. If we have online services, fine. If we do not, we should not be REQUIRED to login every 7 days..or ever! What do we all have to do? Start a class action lawsuit to get you guys to turn this unsolicited marketing option off? 

We paid for the software. It's not a subscription. It's just desktop accounting software. You should not be forcing us to login to online ANYTHING. If you require a password...I guess there's nothing we can do about it. But forcing us to login online is absurd. Perhaps I'll figure out a way to change the IP address locally for intuit online services so that it points to the local computer. Maybe then it won't be able to login or it won't ask me? This is so infuriating.
