QuickBooks Security Upgrade Needed for Uninterrupted Services
A security upgrade is necessary for all connections used by QuickBooks Desktop, 2015 and later. After May 31, 2018, you will need to meet certain system requirements to access Intuit services. It is highly recommended to consider all of your services and how the new system requirements will affect them. If these requirements are not met, critical services including–but not limited to–the following will be impacted:
- All connected services such as payroll, payments, online banking, etc.
- QuickBooks Desktop activation on a new computer
- Password reset tool
- Services that require Intuit account credentials (One Intuit Identity – OII) such as My apps, secure webmail, contributed reports etc.
- Intuit Data Protect (IDP)
- Help pages
- Ordering checks and supplies
Follow these steps to ensure greater security and stability with TLS 1.2, an internet security protocol. If you want to learn more about TLS 1.2, click here.
- Make sure the QuickBooks Desktop version you are using is updated to the latest release.
- Run the TLS 1.2 Readiness tool from this QuickBooks article on the computer where QuickBooks is installed to confirm your system readiness for TLS 1.2.
- If the TLS 1.2 Readiness tool indicates failure, you should review the details here to take the necessary steps.
