Password required

Unknown · June 2020

After the last update I am now asked for a password to open the file even though the preferences are set so no password is required. How do I fix this?

I am getting the same thing. It is not the vault password, it is the quicken account password. That normally is only asked after an update but this is almost daily now. Very annoying

Please try this:
In Quicken go to Edit / Preferences / Quicken ID & Cloud Accounts.
Click the text link "Sign in as a different user"
Follow instructions to sign out, then sign in with your current Quicken ID and password.

What password are you asked to provide?

The Quicken ID password?
Or a password for your data file?
Or something else?

Once in a while you are actually asked to re-identify yourself and provide your Quicken ID and password. That should be a very infrequent occurrence.
