Did you ever stop to think that maybe there is only ONE USER? 

Give the option to NOT do this. It's stupid. I serves to make things more difficult. It blocks access to my accounting file. I get stuck on a screen prompting me to login to ONLINE QUICKBOOKS SERVICES when I don't have any, and I don't need any.

It is likely that millions of Quickbooks users around the world have the same complaint. Maybe if you receive millions of complaints, you'll change it. Security options, 2-factor authentication...all this should be up to the end user. EVEN MY BANK does not require such information and authentication!
