I started using Quicken many years ago and upgraded as required. If this signing into a Intuit is to become mandatory, then I will have to start looking for different accounting software. I paid for your software, that should be where your control should end. I don't trust you or any big company to have that kind of possible access to my accounts. Every few months, the news comes out where some big companies files are broken into. This is a bad idea if it is mandatory, if by choice it's OK. But Not Mandatory!!
