Why do I have to enter my password when I open my Quicken Premier?

The past couple times I've opened Quicken Premier on my desktop, I've had to enter my password. Can anyone tell me why? There haven't been any updates so I'm bewildered.

If you have set a Quicken file password, you always need to enter the password when you open the file.

If you have set a transaction password, you always have to enter the password when you edit a restricted transaction.

If you are using the Password Vault, you have to enter the password to allow Quicken to access the Password Vault.

To access Online Services, we are required to provide the Quicken ID password to obtain a authentication certificate if the current certificate his not longer valid.  There are many reasons a certificate may become invalid.  For example, the certificate may have expired, we may have changed the Quicken ID, Quicken ID password, or IP address, or we may have signed out the device.
