Quickbooks 2018 has pop up requiring log in to account but when I choose the help (the only option)

I am using Windows 10 and QB 18 I have a popup with log in that requires to log in from pop up and there is no way to because the browser is no longer supported. I can not get into quickbooks to change browser. I cannot log into account. I can log into quickbooks with another browser as I am logged in now. The pop up says I need to upgrade my software and that session will expire in 10 days.

Hello, morgansgarage. 

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Community. Upgrading your software is the best option for this issue. Since you're using outdated software, I would suggest upgrading it to the new QB version.  

 

But before upgrading to a newer QB version, check your computer and make sure it meets the system requirements. This will ensure the application is compatible with your setup and will help avoid problems when installing it. Check out this article for detailed information: System requirements for QuickBooks Desktop 2022.

 

If the device is compatible, create a backup of the company file to keep a copy of your transactions. Let me help and guide you through the steps.

 

  1. Tap the File menu to choose Back Up Company and Create Local Backup.
  2. Tick the radio button for Local Backup and hit the Options button.
  3. In the Tell us where to save your backup copies field, select Browse and pick the location where you wish to keep the copy.
  4. Hit OK.
  5. Follow the instructions on how to finish the backup process.

 

When you’re ready, you can now upgrade your QuickBooks Desktop 2018 to 2022. For your reference, see the following guide for the complete instructions: Upgrade to a New QuickBooks Desktop.

 

If you're getting the same results, I recommend getting in touch with our Live Support Team. They can pull up your account and create a case to further investigate the issue.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please let me know! Have a great day.
