Online update, no password storage

I have been using Microsoft Money for years, but now I am back to
Quicken 2010.

I would like to use the online update feature of Quicken for my
checking account, credit cards, and brokerage. However, I do not wish
to enter my password into Quicken for permanent storage in its data
files.

How can I get Quicken to memorize my account numbers, but prompt me
for passwords whenever I do online updates?

Thanks for any suggestions.

You can do that in all the previous versions of Quicken. That is what I
do with Q2009. I am not running Q2010.

Open up the Password Vault and delete all of the passwords saved. This will
cause the program to prompt you for the online passwords with each One Step
Update.

Hi, David.

I use Quicken's Password Vault (on the Tools menu), as Laura suggested. I
store my several passwords there, along with the URLs and account numbers to
access each FI. Then I have to supply a single password for the vault
itself each time I do a One Step Update. Quicken stores the vault in a file
here on my own computer, NOT on Quicken.com or any other online location.

Is that what you are looking for?
