Password not required on some accounts?

Don Awalt

I was curious how this works….I have 6 FI accounts, and yesterday I changed the passwords on all 6 accounts to make them more robust. So this morning, I did OSU on Quicken, and I saw an interesting thing. I got some errors - invalid password - as I forgot to update Quicken.

I was prompted to change 3 of the 6 passwords, which completed fine. I thought it odd the other 3 did not give an error! So I went into the vault to change the passwords on those 3 accounts, and for all 3 in the password area it said a password was not required.

So how does this work, if no password is required? I assume it has to do with authorizing the account online, which I see from time to time?

Thanks for the explanation!
