schirallicpa Posted March 8, 2020 Report Posted March 8, 2020 I am so fed up with quickbooks and their stupid passwords. Then if you click on forget password and enter you license, it says that it still can't change password because you have recently changed the password. Unbelievable. I HATE QUICKBOOKS 2 2 1 Quote
grandmabee Posted March 8, 2020 Report Posted March 8, 2020 Hate them but can't work without them. I so wish someone else would come up another program. I just got my payroll renewal. 615.00 2 Quote
Abby Normal Posted March 8, 2020 Report Posted March 8, 2020 Wow, I've never encountered that. Sorry for your troubles! We keep a spreadsheet with all our QB passwords. 1 Quote

Hear, hear! I agree that QuickBooks is a ROYAL pain in the patootie. However, if you ever work with the online version, you will KISS your computer when you go back to the desktop version. I loathe, detest, and abhor the online version. We refuse any new clients using QBO, and are working to get our remaining online clients onto a desktop version. Even the Apple version of QB is better than QBO! 5 Quote
Patrick Michael Posted March 9, 2020 Report Posted March 9, 2020 When QBO first came out I hated it but have gotten use to it's quirks and figured out some work arounds, so I don't mind it too much. The best part about QBO is the money I make cleaning up the mess many clients create when they try to do it on their own. Usually costs them double or triple what it would have if I did it from the beginning.! Quote

Lee B Posted March 9, 2020 Report Posted March 9, 2020 Just curious, I don't use QB or QBO. What is so bad about QBO? Quote

Roberts Posted March 9, 2020 Report Posted March 9, 2020 The password requirements on Quickbooks was forced upon them by the IRS or another federal agency. If you have any banking account information in the program, you are required to have passwords to protect it from someone accessing it. 1 Quote

I have one client now using QB Enterprise and not the online crap. They cannot share with me, their accountant, or send me an accountant's version unless I purchase my own copy. Thanks QB, I pushed them into this crap and shot myself in the foot at the same time. The payroll program???? Way too much, QB Pro-Advisor??? When I got out it was up to $800.00 per year. Well I guess one thing might be good, the client using Enterprise wants me to make office visits most likely quarterly. What I will charge them may cushion my frustration a bit. 1 Quote

His pinstripes were all of a tatter, as he rose on his elbow and said, "Wrap me up with me brolly and briefcase, and bury me deep down below, with me files on the floor of the file room, in a place where the tax men don't go." First verse of "The Dying Accountant" sung to the tune of "Tarpaulin Jacket" and performed by the Inland Navigators Bush Band of Sydney Australia. At one point he puts a brick through his video screen. Great song. 2 Quote
Randall Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 Give me my eye shades and sleeve protectors. Old accountants never die, they just get out of balance. 3 Quote
