Hi @arluk,
To answer your question - yes, signing in to your Quicken datafile is requires a password that is completely separate (and hopefully different) from signing in to this Quicken Community. And, as such, there are different sign-ins for each.
I suspect that you would not want to have your datafile exposed to potential security issues if users of the Quicken Community could rely on your having to use the exact same password for your Quicken Community as you have for you Quicken datafile. There is no requirement that users of the Quicken Community be current users of the Quicken application - they can be anybody on the web. Do you think it would be wise for potential bad guys to know that your community password for a website available to anyone on the Web, to know that your password for that open forun is the same and yout datafile password?

Quicken uses the same email address/password for quicken.com as well as signing into Quicken. You would only have to sign-in twice if you used different email addresses for each.
After signing into quicken.com, where are you clicking on help? Can you post a screen shot?
