Default Security for database - user accounts and log on

I have created, split my database, but have concerns about security on the
be, I have made the FE (mde) to place on each user's pc but i am wondering is
it necessary for me to create user accounts?

What are your concerns? If all the users can have access to the data, but
non-users shouldn't, then password protecting the FE and BE could be good
enough.

However if you only want the users to see some of the data; or be able to
only enter or edit records, but not delete (for example); or messing with the
design of the tables orqueries, then you need to implement User Level
Security or you could just password protect the BE and not tell the users.

Not entirely correct. They will not be able to mess with the reports in a FE
MDE. However the users can still mess with the queries and any tables that
you put in the FE. Also unless you do something like password protect the
BE, the users could get into it and mess with the tables.
