Intuit claims that you now need an Intuit Account to ensure security; yet make NO STATEMENTS in what is security features are improved, needed, or why! 
This is just another example of Intuit taking over your company files and who knows what information they are collecting and selling. 
Same goes for them claiming that you must upgrade your Desktop version for added security, and if you don't, they prevent you from using their Merchant Services. 
It's all about collecting money from their customers in any manner they can! 
Just let us use your program and quit forcing us to upgrade or create an Intuit Account! 
I'm so sick of Intuit!
