Are my accounts safe? What if someone hacks my password to Quicken?

Would anyone who has my Quicken account password, such as my accountant, be able to clean out my accounts? Are there any safety checks in place in case your Quicken account gets hacked?

Q uses the same level of encryption as does your banks/cards/brokerages/etc.SO, I believe that your fears are unfounded.

Assuming you have only preserved the passwords used to access your accounts in the Password Vault, to access your accounts at a financial institution, the person would need the Password Vault password. If you’re intentionally providing the data file to a third party, you may delete the Password Vault in the version you provide: select Tools > Password Vault > Delete Password Vault and All Saved Passwords...1
