Password Vault

I changed my password for an institution and deleted and added a new password vault so that it could be updated. However, when I use the password vault it says that my password is invalid. Is there a character limit? I use a password manager to generate the passwords, and I set it at the institution maximum of 64 characters. Is 64 characters too many? My password works on the institution website.

    The OFX standard that Quicken uses has a max of 32 characters for a password.

    Yeah, reducing my passwords to 32 characters seemed to help. It would be nice if Quicken had some kind of warning or info to that effect.

    I agree, they should either block you from even entering more than 32 characters or post an error message as soon as you do enter over 32 characters.
