Any plans in 2018 to integrate Quicken with LastPass password management software?

RBrunson

As serious data breaches continue to be announced and we are routinely encouraged to change frequently our multitude of long, complicated passwords using randomly occurring characters, has anyone heard any rumors that Quicken may soon integrate with LastPass or any other password management utility programs? Is this a particularly challenging undertaking for the Quicken team? [For the record, I am using QRPMW2015.]

Unless LastPass makes the changes ... I wouldn't bet upon any integration between the 2 products.

BUT, Q never announces enhancements until JUST BEFORE they're released. So, no one here can respond with any authority.

I'm a KeePass user and am a little frustrated that using a (ugly to type) generated password is difficult to use with some applications.  KeePass has a drag and drop feature that works with many apps and which I rely on, but with Quicken I have to copy and paste (which means the clip board is involved and that can be monitored).

Actually, though we're no longer under Intuit, I think TurboTax had some screens needing a password which one couldn't even paste into.  Being a little dyslexic, this was a maddening exercise!   At least paste seems to work in many fields within Quicken.

(I found several other, older posts mentioning KeePass.)  Given the increasing concerns about security I would certainly think that a little better integration with some of the more common password managers would encourage the use of strong passwords - so I'd vote for it.

I use Quicken 2017 Deluxe and have been using your products for over 20-years. I now subscribe to a password vault software that allows me to enter my login information for most software directly for any other software except Quicken. This password software uses extensions as a means of accomplishing this. The extension icon is visible in all other applications except within Quicken. Are there any plans to modify your platform to allow me to do so in the near future?

I understand the convenience of this but I would rather have a secondary PW on Quicken, wouldn't you?

Which password vault product are you using?

And, why should Q change their product to accommodate an unrelated 3rd party product?

I don't know which PW manager, but mine (Roboform (RF)) will offer to enter the Quicken Password Vault password.

I do not use a Quicken file password, so I do not know if it kicks in there or not.

RF will not offer to enter the FI passwords if the Quicken Password Vault is not used.

Why shouldn't Quicken be willing to consider changing their product to accommodate 3rd-party functionality that is used by their customers, especially if the adjustment might be accomplished without undue burden?
