In this blog post, let’s try to find how advanced are the security features in QuickBooks Desktop 2018. In-brief, we will also discuss if these new features provide you with enough reasons to migrate on QuickBooks Desktop 2018.
Let’s start.
Secure Webmail via OAuth 2.0
Intuit is making an overall change on the way webmails integrate and work with QuickBooks. This change will enhance the security and reliability of QuickBooks.
Prior to QuickBooks 2018, QuickBooks integration relied on Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to send and track emails. However, this was not recommended by maximum webmail providers.
For example, in case you use Gmail with prior versions of QuickBooks, then SMTP can decrease the security of Gmail, which is not good for your business.
When you may have tried to connect earlier Versions of QuickBooks with Gmail, then Google may have denied access or blocked QuickBooks from integrating with Gmail.
However, the enhanced security feature of QuickBooks Desktop 2018 will use OAuth 2.0 for connecting and integrating with webmail applications.
Many of the webmail providers, except Yahoo prefers OAuth 2.0, which makes integration and accessibility of emails on QuickBooks simple, secure and reliable.

Add-on applications such as Projector, SmartServices and more, enhances the overall utility of QuickBooks and also gives all the additional features that are not available with QuickBooks Support Number. @ 1800-865-4183.
