What else do I need to know?

• The administrator account holder will be notified if any users have not set up a password. This will help the administrator to secure the file by requesting that those users create a password, or by assigning a password directly to these users.
• Customers using QuickBooks Desktop in multi-user mode will need to ensure that all users are on a supported version of QuickBooks Desktop and have installed the security update in order to address the security vulnerability.
• Customers who have forgotten the admin password, and have also forgotten the hint to reset the password, must provide the email address that they used to register QuickBooks to access the password reset tool.
• Customers running SDK applications that need to access QuickBooks in unattended mode must log in to QuickBooks after the security update for QuickBooks 2016/Enterprise 16 (R7) has been applied.
