Hello there, Danny. Having a secure password seems essential to you right now. Let me help you on adding a password to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) app.

 

A strong password is essential when using the QBO app, as it contains private data and transactions. You can use the password manager app to sign in to your QBO app. Please note that this feature is only available on iOS.

 

Add your QuickBooks Online username and password to your device's password manager app before signing in to the QuickBooks Online app. It will enable the key icon to appear where you enter your user ID the next time you sign in. I'll show you how:

 

  1. To open your password manager, click the key icon.
  2. Choose the password manager sign.
  3. Enter your password or use Touch ID with your fingerprint to access the password manager.
  4. Once the password manager opens, click your QuickBooks Online username.

 

On the other hand, you may visit this article as a guide when adding users that can help you manage your business transactions inside QBO: Add and manage users in QuickBooks Online.

 

Let me know if you have more questions about setting up a password in your QBO app. I'm more than happy to help. Keep safe!

Thank you for your reply, however that doesn’t really solve my problem. I want the app to continue to require some kind of password / code each time I close / minimise it, I don’t see something in the settings for that?

the problem with your suggestion alone means I need to remember to sign out of the app every time, which isn’t realistic.

thanks

I also want to remove the mobile phone associated with the account, otherwise if someone steals my phone they can easily get a code sent to the phone to bypass the password requirement altogether. Please advise how I can do this?
