I'm using TurboTax Home & Business 2022 on a Macintosh with MacOS 12.6.1 (Monterey). I purchased and downloaded TurboTax Home & Business Macintosh version from Amazon. I activated the program with the product key that Amazon provided. I registered the product and was able to import last year’s tax return.
As I was working, I clicked File in the menubar to save my work. TurboTax asked me for keychain access with the following message:
TurboTax 2022 wants to use your confidential information stored in “Intuit ID (a string of letters and numbers)” in your keychain.
To allow this, enter the “login” keychain password.
Clicking Deny at this point dismisses the message but it comes back every time I click FIle in the menubar.
Why does TurboTax need access to my Keychain?
What will the program do with my Keychain password?
Why did previous versions not ask for my Keychain password?
Will my Keychain password be stored in some ancillary file that TurboTax creates in the User/Library/ location?
Because I activated TurboTax with a program key I obtained from Amazon when I purchased the product, why would the program need an application password?
I understand that these are a lot of questions, but I take security of my system very seriously especially when using a web connected application.
