I totally agree, this is my software I purchased it and I should be able to log in anytime without Quickbooks tracking my every move. It is very hard training a client to use the software you recommended when you are having 2nd thoughts about using it yourself with all the passwords and login requirements. I have used this software for almost 30 years and been a Pro-Advisor since the very beginning of the program and have trained numerous clients to use the software. I have a small office and I am the only person using the software on my computer.   I do not need all of the extra protection you have put in place.  Quickbooks is getting to big, they are forgetting it was the small business people that put them where they are now.  If I can find another software that is reasonably priced and does the job I need for my small business client I will switch and so will they.   Right now I use all intuit products, Quickbooks for accounting and payroll and Pro Series for tax returns. I should not have to be restricted when I sit down to work or download an accountants copy from a client.  Sure hope they start to listen to us before they start losing business. I use to use Peachtree not sure if they are still around but I will be doing some research on new software.
