Hi Maine,
I want to ensure you get the help you need.
To make sure we're on the same page, I'd like to confirm if you're attempting to install QuickBooks Online (QBO) on your desktop. When installing the desktop app, QBO doesn't require a password. However, your computer or laptop will prompt you to enter your login credentials when installing the software. Any additional information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
If you encounter different pop-ups such as advertisements, these are designed to offer guidance and suggestions on how to optimize your QBO experience. To prevent the ads from popping up, you can click on the X or No, thanks buttons. This will prevent the pop-ups from appearing again.
You can always get back to us if you need further assistance, Maine. We're here to make sure everything is taken care of.
