References for Quicken in the Mac Keychain

Since this has to do with Passwords, I thought this section would be the most suited for my question. I have the following references in my Keychain. Are all of these still needed? Or just the ones with the most recent dates? And FWIW, I do not store anything in the Quicken Cloud (i.e. don't use the mobile app).

Of the keychain application entries that you list, I only have the first one, the Quicken app password, so I would assume that the others could be deleted.
But, I also have an entry for each financial institution that QMac connects to for transaction downloads. Those keychain entry names are of the form "Quicken password for customer <userID> at <financial institution>". They're required for downloads as far as I know.Quicken user since 1990, MacBook Pro M2 Max on Sonoma 14.7.1

To add another data point, I have the application password entry for current and past versions of Quicken. (I'm not sure what that stores, since I don't have any Quicken passwords; I'd guessing it stores the Quicken ID login and password, even though I thought that was associated with each data file.)
I do not have the Quicken ID Manager entries, nor the Quicken Cloud entries. Since all of your entries are from 2014 and 2015, that was in the Intuit era, and I wonder if you tried anything with the mobile app back then.

Thanks. I wonder what these are for and why I have them. I do have the others you mentioned regarding transaction downloads and they are required for downloads.Quicken Mac Subscription • Quicken user since 19940
