Message when Money starts

Money is unable to verify your Online sign in. Money will now try to log you
in using Work Offline sign in. Some online features, such as background
banking, will be unavailable, possibly because of network problems. To use
these online features, please close money and try to sign in again later.

Why do I get the above message? Is it due to the fact that MS doesn't have
one of my financial institutions in its listing of financial institutions.
Both of my financial institutions have online statements, but I am unable to
upload them to money. I have to input them manually.

Jim,

Are you signing in with your Microsoft Passport?

No, do I have to?

Yes...

and by the way, it is not MS that supports your ability to "upload"
statements to Money. It is up to your financial institution to support
the Microsoft Money application.

Regards,

No. A Passport is not required unless you want to download bank information
that does not support direct online banking, and for which Microsoft offers
to download with a Passport. Manually importing OFX or QIF information from
your bank's website has nothing to do with a Passport.

The only other reason I can think that a Passport might be required is if
you already associated the file with one. In that case, you can sign in with
it, then disassociate the file from the passport using File>Password
Manager, if that's what you want to do. After disassociating the Passport
and file, Money may ask you to sign in with your Passport the next few
times. Just Say No.

I did not set up any passport, with MS Money or anything else on my computer.
I would rather get rid of passport altogether.

If you did not set up a passport, but Money is prompting you for one, answer
no to any questions about setting one up. After a few times, it doesn't ask
any more.
