Why Cyberthreats and Password Security Go Hand In Hand with

Brandon, MB--September 12, 2022: Accounting and tax software provider Intuit sent emails warning users of its flagship QuickBooks accounting software to be on the lookout for phishing emails purporting to be from the company.

The emails appear to be official messages from Intuit, with logos and all, telling people there are issues with their account, such as being unable to verify some information and asking them to click a link that collects personal data. The company insists that it would never send an email with a supposed "software update" or "software download" attachment, nor would it send an email asking the recipient to send sign-in or password details, ask for bank or credit card details, or ask business users for confidential information about employees in an email.

Malware, phishing attacks and data breaches are the most common threats for small and medium-sized businesses, says a survey from Intuit QuickBooks.

Due to the increasing number of cybersecurity threats, QuickBooks takes vigorous measures to protect user's data. Intuit requires an online password, even to log into the desktop version of QuickBooks, its accounting and bookkeeping software.

Those with a QuickBooks file that includes sensitive information such as payroll or credit cards must also sign in with an online account first. For years desktop users have only needed a username. Even so, many users felt the change seemed heavy-handed, especially when combined with a requirement to change passwords every 90 days.

E-Tech's Password Reset Service also assists in resetting the Admin user password within the QuickBooks company data file so the file can be opened as the Admin User.

The QuickBooks Password Recovery Service can be used with all versions of QuickBooks Data files and works with all versions of QuickBooks including QuickBooks for Mac, QuickBooks Enterprise, Pro, and Premier.
