Has this been fixed yet? I have a customer with Outlook issues. Turns out I had to create an app password for their Outlook, I don't know how they were using it before. They started also stating they used to send invoices easier before in QB, so I mentioned you can do it in QuickBooks. Because I just helped a customer with QuickBooks for Mac and I believe their QB didn't ask for a password every time they sent an invoice within the program.

 

I thought QB Desktop would be the same, so I told the customer I can make it happen. I made it happen once, but then tried again and it kept asking for the password. That dang Yahoo app password is 16 random characters long!

 

No way I'm telling them to cut and paste their password every time to try an make their lives easier. If this hasn't been fixed in any recent updates, I suppose they'll just have to suffer using Outlook as an external invoice emailer. It just sucks because Outlook has to slowly load up just to send it, computer still has a spinning hard drive.

 

The one time it worked within QB was nice and fast! Oh well, I'll just have to tell my customer QuickBooks cannot send invoices within the program because the programmers lack the knowledge to store encrypted salted hash passwords.
