Security features in Lacerte Tax Program!!

Lacerte

Lacerte users please write to Intuit and tell them to put the most basic of security features into their Lacerte tax program: a password to enter the program!!

I’ve been telling my sales reps about this features for years, they’ve even forwarded this suggestion on to some VP, and all she wrote was “good idea”, but here we are years later and we still don’t have it.

So here we are and anybody who has access to our workstation can then access the Lacerte tax program: IT personnel, a family member with prying eyes for those who work from or take work home, etc..

This is unfair that anyone can enter the tax program once they are on the system. QuickBooks has a password feature, why shouldn’t the tax program from the same manufacturer have this feature too?

The website enables you to communicate with each other and directly with the Intuit employees who make the decisions and who are responsible for the budget. So, if all three of you and anyone else who wants passwords votes for this feature it has a better chance it will be included in Lacerte.

In the meantime, you can gain security by having a secure password and logging out when you leave your workstation.  We require our employees to log out at the end of the day.

My PC has a password requirement on the screen-saver, so if it is unused for three minutes the user must enter the password in order to use the PC.

If you use Pro Series Basic I might not be able to help you. If you use Turbo Tax I might refuse to help you. All others, watch out! ;-)
