I use on line banking with quicken and stored ID and password for them. I would like Quicken to stop asking for this information at startup or any other time. Can this be done and still have it remember the ID and password for online banking? Thanks Jeff Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Han Guest Posted: Sat May 24, 2008 9:34 pm    Post subject: Re: Quicken 2008 password vault "JG" <jlgs1947@fairpoint.net> wrote in news:oISdndKs96Ddq6XVnZ2dnUVZ_hWdnZ2d@neonova.net: Quote: Hi, I'm the only one who uses my computer and hate passwords.

Thanks Jeff There are several kinds of passwords: 1: Password to log on to the computer (advisable for machines that are accessing the net, IMHO). 2: Passwords for on line banking, specific to banks etc. These are or can be stored in a password-protected "Password vault" in each Quicken file set; 1 password to make all passwords and usernames accessible, which is: 3: Password for the Password vault, see #2 4: Password to access a Quicken file set. I do not use this, but then you might want to or not. -- Best regards Han email address is invalid Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor JG Guest Posted: Sun May 25, 2008 8:21 pm    Post subject: Re: Quicken 2008 password vault I want to remove two quicken program passwords prompts. 1- at startup of computer Quicken password prompt 2- prompt to update quicken I would like to keep the quicken online banking saved logon/password.

You probably can do either or both of 2 things: Remove the password from the file set, or stop Quicken from automatically starting somne of its components (such as billminder). Quote: 2- prompt to update quicken You may have a version of Quicken (2005?) that is about to lose the ability to download data from banks etc. Therefore Intuit would like you to buy the latest version. If that's the case, I suggest you wait as long as possible, then use the trial version of 2008 until 2009 comes out, then buy 2009. At least that was my strategy when I wanted to upgrade last year. Quote: I would like to keep the quicken online banking saved logon/password. If you mean the password for the password vault, yes, that is independent of all the above, and you should/can keep it with all the other stuff off. Quote: Is this possible?

How can I remove these then? I have Quicken 2008 snip I have no idea. Since I do not use billminder nor do I password protect my datafile, I have no "problem" like you do <grin>. Please do let us know your solution when you find it, in case someone else encounters it. -- Best regards Han email address is invalid Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor John Pollard Guest Posted: Mon May 26, 2008 6:20 am    Post subject: Re: Quicken 2008 password vault JG wrote: Quote: I need billminder it works fine. How can I remove these then? I have Quicken 2008 I have read your posts in this thread, and I am still not clear on what your problem is. If your problem is related to the Quicken password vault; then as far as I know, there are only one option that you can select that controls the password vault. If you use the ("Online") "schedule updates" option, you get the choice of entering your Password Vault pasword at Windows Startup or before each scheduled update. You control the option via Online > Schedule Updates in the "Security" section of the dialog. Other than that, I know of no way you can eliminate the Password Vault password prompt. In older versions of Quicken, you were required to enter the password every single time you initiated a One Step Update; in the newer versions of Quicken, you need only enter the password one time, as long as you have not exited Quicken. -- John Pollard First initial underscore Last name at mchsi dot com Please reply to newsgroup Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor JG Guest Posted: Wed May 28, 2008 10:40 pm    Post subject: Re: Quicken 2008 password vault I removed password vault at startup and also changed online from auto to manual.
