Why does the Quicken Server store passwords? Mark R. Cusumano 03-09-2008

 I recently had a problem with PayPal. I had no problem downloading
transactions directly into Quicken until I got a PayPal security key.
Essentially what it does is generates new 6 digit password every 30 seconds.
I figured, no problem I would just not store my password in the password
vault and type it in every time. WRONG. When I try to update I get a
message telling me that the password my financial institution has does not
match the password stored on the Quicken server and I have to click on the
link to "update your password in Quicken". This time Quicken has no
problem as it now updates ITS password (which I never told it to store) and
the password my financial institution has. Anyone know why the Quicken
server is storing password?

Have you tried going into the Password Vault and deleting the password for
PP there? It should then prompt you each time you do a one-step update for
the password to the PayPal site. Just watch the buttons you click on so that
you don't accidently save the password.

Yes, I did that and it correctly asks me for the password each time. But
then I type in the new password it still complains it doesn't match the
password stored on the "server" and I can click a link to update the
password on the server. This for some reason is a different location then
the Password Vault because I am correctly asked for the password every time.
If you want to see how this works, change your password from the bank on
their website. Change it in the password vault and you will find the first
time you use the password on Quicken you will get an error even though you
changed the password in the vault.

When the One step update screen pops up is the option to synch with
Quicken.com selected? I wonder if unchecking that option will cure your
problem?

Good thought, but it didn't work.
