IntuitID nag

Apr 08, 2018 6 Replies

Is quicken supposed to nag me every couple weeks or so for my IntuitID password? It also executes dual factor authentication sometimes.



I guess I'm ok with this, other than the annoyance factor.



Quicken is supposed to require we multi factor authenticate our Quicken ID.

According the Quicken Support:

Once you log in to Quicken with your Quicken ID, you won?t need to log in again, unless you change your credentials, try to open your Quicken file on a different computer system, or if you haven't logged in for more than 90 days.

Many users have reportd that they're being prompted to authenticate more frequently.

I'm seeing the prompts more often. I have made quser.ini read only to kill the update nag. Related?

You will also get asked every time you start a different version of Quicken from the one most recently used on the same "PC" (though not when the different versions are installed in different "virtual pc's").

And lest you ask; yes, it is possible to have multiple versions of Quicken installed on the same non-virtual pc. In that situation; if the version you attempt to run is different than the version you most previously ran: you will be required to go through the "registration" dialog, which includes providing your "Quicken ID".

An "Intuit-ID" is no longer valid for any version of Quicken.

Thanks Sherlock,

I would be one of these people. I have't changed my credentials and I launch Quicken daily (or maybe as long as 1 week, never longer)

Thanks John, neither of these apply to me, but thanks for the further information.
