Account password problems

Art B

The last two weeks have been frustrating having to enter my account password almost every time that I start Quicken. I've read the other posts on this subject but they don't seem to offer any solid solution.
I don't use file passwords or the password vault so there isn't an issue with those.
I've been using Quicken since the early 1990s and this is the most annoying issue I've ever had.

If you don't have a data file password and don't use the password vault, you must be referring the the Quicken ID password.  Is that correct.  If so, maybe reseting it will help:

Tried the fix and I'll see what happens, working for now. Also note that Quicken has recognized that there is a problem and is working on a permanent fix.

Yes, I am aware of that Quicken is working on a permanent fix.  I'm glad that the suggested fix seems to be working for you.

I am wondering why you rejected the answers provided.  When clicking on "No" for "Did this answer the Question?" it tells others searching in Community for solutions to problems or questions that they shouldn't bother looking at it because it wasn't a useful answer which, in this case, is not accurate.  Clicking on "Yes" is helpful to others so they can know that it might help them, too.

Art B - Did you reject @jrich75 's suggestion?  If so, why did you reject it?

The suggestion in @jrich75 's response is one that many others (including myself) have confirmed fixes the type of issue he references.  If it doesn't work for you or if your issue is different from that, please provide more details so someone in Community can perhaps offer a different solution.

Got the fix, everything works. I find this forum a bit difficult to reply to others.

Great!  I'm glad it's working for you now.

To reply to others you can place the @ symbol right in front of their username.  Example: @Boatnmaniac . 

Or you can click on "Quote at the bottom of their post.  This one is especially good to use if there are a lot of posts in the thread from multiple people because it will insert the post you are responding to right above your reply (just like I did here).
