Password policy and Money incompatible

Recently Ameriprise implemented a stronger password policy and now require
the use of special characters. Money 2007 does not allow the use of special
characters in passwords for Ameriprise...is there a way to force Money to
accept my password which now includes a special character?

The password requirements are determined by the institution and the
institution passes the requirement information to Microsoft.

Microsoft is working with Ameriprise to update the password
requirements in Money. They are currently in testing and hope to
have things resolved in the next week or two. So Money would be
expected to send that out with the updates.

Here is some speculation: I wonder if you could change your password
on the Ameriprise website to an 8-character password with only
alphanumeric characters, such as a93erna2w . Based on your statement
that you must include a special character, I guess not. Perhaps an
underscore would work for both for now.

I tried Underscore and it does not work. I guess we have to wait for the
updates
