Several times in the past week I've logged in as admin to QB Desktop Pro 2021, and I get the pop-up saying "You haven't logged in to your Intuit account for 89 days."
It's annoying enough to have this useless message every 89 days (since there's absolutely no value in signing in), but at least stop presenting it every two or three days.
I don't need you to "ensure the security" of my account.
I'm the sole user of our QuickBooks file.
I store the data on my local hard drive.
I probably have a better firewall system then you do.
I don't use QB payments, payroll, or any other connected services.
I change my passwords frequently.
The only information in my Intuit account is my name, email, phone number, and QB license number (which is also "securely" on the CD case on my bookshelf where it belongs). I don't even want you to have that much info but you required me to do so. If you didn't force an Intuit account down my throat, there would be nothing to secure in the first place.
Ironically, when I first started using QuickBooks in 1997, I ran it on a PC that wasn't even connected to the internet or any network. I'd plug it in to the internet, maybe twice a year to get updates, then unplug it. Doesn't get more secure than that! Now you require an internet connection (so I can get your endless QB Online ads and other useless offers) or the product stops working after awhile. So, no, you're not interested in my ability to secure my account, you just want access to my desktop so you can send marketing to me.
If Intuit had even the slightest respect for their customers, they would give us the option to turn this crap off if we don't need or want it.
