Online Security
Protecting the privacy and security of your financial information is a top priority. Intuit software products, including Quicken and QuickBooks, protect your transactions with multiple layers of security so you can bank online with confidence.
Quicken and QuickBooks Security
Quicken and QuickBooks online financial features take advantage of state-of-the-art encryption and authentication technologies, including Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), digital certificates and RSA encryption to protect the security and privacy of your financial information.
Internet security is supported by addressing four key security objectives: Authentication, Privacy, Integrity, and Transaction Confirmation/Monitoring.
  • Authentication, which requires the use of a personal identification number (PIN) and a customer ID number when a user accesses their account or sends payment instructions or other information to a financial institution or processor. This is supported by the use of digital certificate technology provided by VeriSign, the leading online certificate authority. No one at Intuit or your financial institution has access to your pin.
  • Privacy, to ensure that only the intended audience can read a message or access data. SSL and RSA combine to provide message encryption while communicating online to maximize the security of your data. Additionally, Quicken and QuickBooks allow you to use a password feature to ensure that only people with the correct password have access to your financial information.
  • Integrity, to ensure the message received has not been altered after it left the sender. Message integrity is provided jointly by SSL and RSA security technology.
  • Transaction Confirmation/Monitoring, provided in Quicken and QuickBooks, displays a list of instructions to be sent to your financial institution before going online and provide a record of all completed transactions. This allows you to delete any instructions you do not recognize or notify your financial institution.
