To create/change your Vault Password
It's good security practice to change your Password Vault password from time to time. See the section on connected services and security.
You have the option to either use the Quicken ID Password for your vault, or to use a different custom password. If you have chosen the Quicken ID password for your vault, to change the Vault Password, you need to change the Quicken ID password. Refer to Change your Quicken ID password.
If you are using a custom password or if you wish to switch between using the Quicken ID password and custom password, follow the steps given below:
- Choose Tools menu > Password Vault > Add or Edit Passwords.
- Click Manage Vault Password.
- In the Manage Vault Password window, choose the option to use the Quicken ID password or any custom password, based on your preference.
- Enter your current vault password to confirm the change.
Notes
- For security purposes, the password you choose must be at least six characters in length. We suggest you choose a password that contains:
- At least one digit (0 to 9)
- At least one letter (a to z)
- The Password Vault is designed for high security, but factors such as a well-chosen password, physical security for your computer, and proper safeguards when you use a network or the Internet are all important. Since most of these factors are beyond Quicken's control, Quicken is not liable for safeguarding your password data.
