Andy TJ, the Borg responded with the usual statement, "we take your safety seriously....".  No they don't.  If they did, you would not be required to log in to use software PURCHASED by you to use on your PC.  The Borg has no legitimate reason to require you to sign and expose confidential files on your PC.  

Smash a "like" for all other members posting objections to this intrusion.  Respond to all Qbooks personnel telling them they are wrong.  Tell them Quickbooks CUSTOMERS do not support mandatory sign-ins.

To Quickbooks TirzaC (with the Level 5 rating), you have a choice to be part of the solution.  Tell management and corporate to change this policy.  Now.  Hundreds have objected, yet QB continues.  Hundreds have left the QB fold, thousands will follow.  You can be part of the solution or part of the Borg.  Choose wisely.
