I just ended a chat support session with MS since I was seeing the "Cannot
log in with passport" issue we are all seeing. Here is the response (which
works fine for me). Hope is helps other people too.
{MS}Thank you for holding, after reviewing your problem description, and as
I understand the issue, you are unable to sign into Money using your Hotmail
Passport, is this correct?
There seems to be a problem with some of the Hotmail Passport's we have
notified the Passport team and they are in the early stages of investigating
this. Most likely it will not be resolved until at least next week.
In the mean time you can select to disable the Passport feature in Money by
going to File, Password Manager and click change.
This will still allow you to access MSN BillPay but if you are syncing with
MSN Money it will be affected.
{ME}That is correct for my problem. I use Wells Fargo for online bill pay
through Money. Can I still do that if I disable passport?
{MS}Oh yes, in fact in this situation if you still want to protect your file
with a Passport, you can create a new one at www.passport.com and use it
until the issue is resolved
it will not have any affect what-so-ever on Wells fargo BillPay.
all passport is for is to password protect your file, for background banking
(that is when statements are downloaded when money is closed) or MSN Money
syncing.
{MS}It has no effect on downloading statements when Money is open or using
someone elses BillPay other than MSN
