How to get QB to stop asking me to log into my Intuit Account

As the main user I have entered my credentials but why is it asking other users (who don't need access to any of this information) for their user ID & password.  I don't understand why I would need to create user names for every user, and I really don't want to.

Is there a way for them to get rid of this notification without having to create a user ID & password?

Our company is getting the same prompt with a bit of a twist. The problem we face is that we have several clients for which we keep books and process payroll. They are all on our payroll subscription, and different people log in as "Admin" to work on the accounts--each person using their own Intuit account when they're working in the account. The QB prompt wants us to assign a single Intuit account to each QB file, or to say we're not using Admin. Neither option applies. I spent a long time on the phone with an Intuit employee who didn't have a clue how to resolve the issue, and It is completely aggravating. Have any of you faced a similar situation, and found a solution? (QB2019)

I agree.  Why does QB need to force it's users to do stupid things?  Of course, there's probably nobody home at Quickbooks to ask that question.  I like QB but this has gone too far.  Who has time to fool around with questions and answers?

Thank you for posting this comment. If there was a better option besides Quickbooks, I would gladly use it!

Exactly the problem I am having.  I just want to use my program without BIG BROTHER poking around in it.  I have a desktop because that is all I want!!. I don't intend to use any of the added features $$$$$ that Intuit is pushing.  Let me have my privacy and do my work without an hour delay each week!Q!!

.02 more on this.

I have a 90 year old customer trying to maintain LOCAL accounts which he has maintained for decades.  These accounts have NO PAYROLL and NO ADDITIONAL SERVICES, but Intuit is working hard to make his job virtually impossible.

In just the last two years:

1) He was forced to upgrade to a more recent version because his client did (fine, client may have had reasons, but it's also likely Intuit forced the upgrade by disabling something).

2) When creating files with the new version, he was suddenly and without reason REQUIRED to set a password for a new company file which ONLY HE WOULD EVER access on ONE LOCAL PC.

3) Another year later, he goes back to open files he created the previous year and suddenly Intuit REQUIRES not only the password he didn't want, but now he must login to an online account . . . TO ACCESS A LOCAL FILE which uses NO additional services!

This 90 year old man used to simply double-click to open a client's company file.  Now he must perform two additional AND POINTLESS steps to do exactly the same work.

4) Worse yet, the additional steps don't even work.  When logging in, Intuit has thus far forced him to to get a code by email . . .  and again by phone EVERY TIME.   He never asked for 2FA.  Why is Intuit requiring 3FA? (answer: cheap offshore developers only know specs, they don't know how to write good code).

As so many others have said, adding all these additional steps provides ZERO SECURITY VALUE to a desktop user.  What Intuit has done is make sure this super nice 90 man has multiple IRRELEVANT and USELESS tasks he must complete before opening a LOCAL FILE with Quickbooks DESKTOP.

Want to guess what my advice is to a thousand or so other tech support clients?  Don't dare upgrade Quickbooks unless you have no other option.  INTUIT DOESN'T CARE.  This thread being either ignored or misunderstood by Intuit is proof.

Oh Look... another sign of high-tech quality software... Every day when I login to my computer, this window comes up and freezes... super great software Intuit!

Now they will not let me into my company file without creating an Intuit Account. I am totally blocked from my company information.

This cannot be legal. This is a huge security breech. 

Is this a situation for a class action suite?

We purchased the desktop version because we did not want any online connection to our business. We want absolutely zero online access to our business. We do not use payroll or any other intuit service. 

Now Intuit is trying to force us into installing a huge hole in our security.

This is just wrong

I must agree with the added annoyance of the Intuit Level Sign In.  Our company used to share the admin sign in between two people in different locations for Quickbooks.  Now the admin sign in adds that you must enter your intuit sign in.  My intuit sign in will not work with QB Admin.  Our payroll processor's sign in with intuit seems to be linked directly to our QB Admin Sign in, so I have lost the ability to sign in as admin.  If you sign in to Intuit it makes sense that you would also need QB sign in because of multiple products.  However when you sign in to QB you should not need Intuit permissions.  My 2 cents.

More and more, software companies are resorting to this "Mother may I" tactic.  The primary reason is to avoid software piracy.  Sad to say, too many people abuse the system, so the "good 'ole days" of buying a desktop or offline version of software has become non-existent.  I fully understand why software companies like Intuit, MiTek, Microsoft, etc... have you check in on a regular basis.  They are just seeing if your license is still active and that you haven't shared the install files with others that did not purchase the license.

It's annoying, yes.  But it is also our own fault.

We run our systems on a private network that is not connected to the internet for security reasons.  We have to open up the system to allow our offline software to "check in", each week.  It has just become a routine and is a choice we made to stay offline as much as possible.

Yes, annoying, as I said before, but I see their (software company's) point of view also.
