Join nowSeveral 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.
Solved! Go to Solution.
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.
I understand that receiving repeated warnings about not logging into your Intuit account for 89 days can be frustrating, 888jay.
It appears to me that you we're able to log in to your Intuit account successfully. However, you've always received that particular reminder. I have some suggestions that can help mitigate the popup message.
That informational message or pop up can help ensure the security of your account. You may consider updating your password. It's a good security practice to secure your account.
Next, check for QuickBooks updates. Ensure that you are using the latest version of QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2021. Updating the software can resolve any known issues, including repeated warning messages.
I also recommend reviewing the article you mentioned. It will provide you with valuable insights and guidance to enhance the security of your QuickBooks Desktop account: Password security for QuickBooks Desktop.

Received two more warnings in the last week. I signed in to the one I received about 10 days ago. Now this one says I haven't logged in for 75 days. Idiotic.
Thanks for getting back with the Community, 888jay. I appreciate your detailed information and screenshot.
Since you've been signing in to your Intuit account successfully within the past 75 days, but are encountering a message advising that you haven't logged in for 75 days, I'd recommend troubleshooting with some of your available tools.
Initially, you can use the Verify Data utility. This identifies known issues within company files and informs users if their Rebuild Data option needs to be utilized afterwards.
Here's how it's used:
If its results show a "Your data has lost integrity," message, this indicates there's damage in your file. You can use the Rebuild Data tool to fix it. For specific errors, there may already be a resource for them on our support site.
In the event it displays a "QuickBooks detected no problems with your data," notification, or you've searched our help articles and didn't find any existing resources about the specific error it displayed, you can move on to troubleshooting with our QuickBooks Tool Hub.
Here's how:
If you continue encountering this message after performing the recommended troubleshooting steps, you'll want to get in touch with our Customer Care team. They'll be able to pull up your account in a secure environment, conduct further research with you, and create an investigation ticket if necessary.
I've also included a detailed resource about working with Intuit accounts which may come in handy moving forward: How to access QuickBooks files with One Intuit Account
Please feel welcome to send a reply if there's any questions. Have a lovely Monday!
@ ZackE,
I've already tried all of the troubleshooting procedures and utilities. It has no effect.
Here's today's warning (one week from my last warning message). Funny how it went from 75 days to 89 days in one week.
Thanks for following up with the Community, 888jay.
Since the message is still displaying after you've performed our recommended troubleshooting processes, I'd recommend getting in touch with our Customer Care team. They'll be able to pull up your account in a secure environment, conduct further research/perform screenshares, and create an investigation ticket if necessary.
They can be reached while using QuickBooks.
Here's how:
Be sure to review their support hours so you'll know when agents are available.
If there's any questions, I'm just a post away. Have an awesome Friday!
