Why does Quicken R25.10 open with background logon screen for Quicken.com* ?

This wasn't here prior and I don't use any online functions- only use desktop functions.
There is no reason to ask or display this screen, is this a bug? It still displays my local password small box for entry of local password, but does not shown my typing local password in box as it is busy doing whatever it does with full page screen wanting a logon to account.

Thanks, but this didn't work, I still get the gray screen as you show and then shortly it turns into the logon screen in background. If I leave it without password, I don't get the new pesky screen.
This might be a clue to the problem??? After updates I always run a super validate, the one today after updating to 25.10 had some lines I didn't understand and have never seen before, but no messages saying I was in trouble. Never had these messages before today's update. Ran another super validate after restoring image and all was as I seen in past, saying no errors and all consistency passed.
The strange lines on report after updating to 25:10 were:
Normal security references (up to 5000): 7 from 1 to 13
Abnormal references: 0 from 0 to 0
Transactions renumbered/highest/set to zero: 0/0/0
Recheck of highest after renumbering: 13
Renumbering complete.
Maximum security references after renumbering normal/moved: 13/13
See Q-Renumber.txt in QW.EXE directory for details.
Super validation complete
After restoring image and running super validate:
QDF:
Validating your data.
No errors.
QEL:
No read errors
QEL:
All internal consistency checks passed
So I would assume the update did something or the super validate in 25:10 is checking something different?

Thanks, I thought that might be the case, but now I know for sure. I also have been using UAC to control the Quicken updates.
Thank you for reporting this behavior to the Community, although I apologize for any inconvenience or frustration experienced. Our Teams have been investigating this behavior and working to resolve this matter as quickly as possible.
An internal fix has been made which should resolve the Quicken ID login screen appearing in the background when entering a Quicken data file password.
Our investigation determined that the root cause of this behavior was not due to the R25.10 product update, but was instead caused by a separate, internal server update that was released at the same time as the R25.10 update.
This conversation is being closed as resolved, but if you do continue to receive a prompt to sign into the Quicken ID, please start a new post to report it and let us know.
Thank you,
Sarah
did MOD speak the truth? any idea when this is going to be resolved?
Thank you for reaching out to the community regarding your issue, though I am sorry to hear that you have been experiencing this.
To better understand your issue I would just like to ask if you could clarify which sign-in screen it is that you are getting? Is it a small pop-up screen asking for your Quicken ID and password (that also tends to pop-up continuously more than once) or does it cover your entire Quicken screen requiring you to sign in just once and then give access to your data file? Last, does the dialogue ask for a Quicken ID and password or a data file password?
If you want you can also attach a screenshot or drag and drop a screenshot to your response which will create a link for me to click on and allow me to view it within my web browser instead.
Thank you,

will going through all this remove the password used for the data file login. if not will this process work to eliminate the login page?
i created a very simple new file without password and that works withiout log in page appearing. my actuall data file contains years of data some going back more than 10 years.
fixed it i just removed the password from the data file without going through all this.............. no more login page
and ignore the background Quicken logon screen
as it will disappear in about 10-20 secs.
