Stop dodging the question that literally EVERYONE is asking about this new "security". Its a really simple yes/no:

Is QuickBooks desktop sending any part of the customer file back to Intuit, or any one else, as a result of this new online account? Yes or no.

"We take your security seriously" - sounds like "we secure your data" which is a violation of our privacy plain and simple. 

And for god sakes stop linking to your dumb unrelated articles about desktop passwords, Not one person asked about the desktop password. We all want to know about the online account, and why Intuit is forcing this upon it's users. None of this irrelevant talk about multiple products; very few of use use anything BUT desktop.; in essence your forcing us to do things that don't have a tangible purpose.

So I ask again:

Is QuickBooks desktop sending any part of the customer file back to Intuit, or any one else, as a result of this new online account? Yes or no.

And just in case I, or the 20 people about haven't been absolutely clear on what we are asking;

Is QuickBooks desktop sending any part of the customer file back to Intuit, or any one else, as a result of this new online account? Yes or no.
