Why am I prompted for my ID and Password each time I start Quicken?

I am using Version 29.12 Build 27.1.29.12. My OS is Windows 10

    Hi @Joe Banton,

    To fix tha you should reset your Quicken ID as follows:

    1) In Quicken go to: "Edit" > "Preferences";
    2) Next click on "Quicken ID & Cloud Accounts";
    3) In the box on the right, click on "Sign in as a different user";
    4) In the box at the bottom of the screen, type "yes" and click "SignOut";
    5) Sign back in with your Quicken ID and Password.

    That should do it.

    Let us know how that goes.

    I tried your procedure and it did not work. I opened an old data file and it did not prompt for ID/Password. I went back and reloaded my current file and I believe it is working ok.

    Hi @Joe Banton

    I probably should have also told you to close and reopen Quicken for the change to take hold.  But switching files likely did that.  Or maybe your file just fixed itself...

    I have the same problem in that the enter ID and password window opens, but remains blank so I can not enter the info. If I X out of it, Quicken locks up. I am using the windows subscription version. I'd give you more info, but cannot get in.
