Quickbooks Secure Online Login Problem

PersonalMoneyStore.com was one of many blogs and online news distributors that reported Quickbooks having a problem with their secure online login screen this morning. This being the afternoon of the same day, the Quickbooks login screen has been restored by now, of course, but the occurrence did re-spark concerns about using online accounting systems.

Business owners and staff people all around the world woke up to the secure Quickbooks login displaying error messages, according to the full report I saw on the topic. I can only imagine the questions people started asking like, “Is my data really safe?” or “What happens if I wake up tomorrow and can’t login to the accounting system?” or “I MUST have access all the time and anytime to my accounting information! Can Quickbooks guarantee I will have that kind of access?!”

Those are all legitimate questions and concerns people bring up when considering Backroom Management for their web-based accounting and company management system.

Fortunately, to-date, we have not had a single day when our online login was down. But, chances are good that if severe issues like that ever did happen, we would probably know about the problem and have it fixed before any of our clients would discover there was a problem.

No one that I can find has announced reasons as to why the Quickbooks login was down and I’m sure the Quickbooks team was quick to get things running again. The point is that downtime or not, web-based applications are not only the future…they are here right now too. And, they’re so accepted in the world already that even who knows how many thousands of Quickbooks users this morning were willing to endure not having access to their numbers for a while.
