Ok, I understand now...it depends on my finanical institution. I'm sorry if
I misunderstood and offended anyone, that was certainly not my intent. Thank
you all for your time and knowledge, I really appreciate it.

Thanks!

slamp,
What you do not realize is the decision on how your financial institution
(FI) interfaces (or does not interface) with Money is that of the FI, not
Money. Some provide the direct interface like Chase/BankOne [note that some
FIs charge for this service]; some provide no interface at all; and some
provide an interface that is readable by a third party program like Yodlee.
The latter requires setting up an MSN Passport account. Note that most of
the Passport requiring FIs allow you to manually download the required ofx
file from their website, which although not automatic, bypasses the need for
a Passport.

So for the question of whether you will be able to get in the future
automatic direct downloads from your accounts other than BankOne, you will
have to direct that question to the holders of your other accounts, not to
MSMoney or this forum.

Thank you everyone for all the information, I really appreciate. I guess the
long and short of it is there is no way to use the online services (other
than my Bank One account) without uploading all my information to MSN Money.
Do you know if a future version of Money will allow me to use the online
downloads from my financial institutes, directly into Money, without forcing
me to upload my information to MSN Money?

Thanks!

I can confirm that Bank One doesn't require Passport and works as it did in
previous versions. However, there will be a migration to the Chase website
this Spring. Other than supporting manual downloads, I don't know what will
happen then.

In all likelihood, your personal information is already scattered across the
web. The only question is how good is the security of the servers that have
it. Oh, and how good are your passwords on their sites and your own security
practices on your machine(s), and the security practices of your ISP and...

The key words are "third party" and "web". "third party" means you
need Passport.

Bank One does not appear to need Passport. It should be able to work
as it did in Money 2004.

Make an extra copy or backup in case you want to undo something.

You should be able to disable background banking with
Tools-> Settings-> AccessYourMoneyDataOnTheWeb
and you could then remove your Passport with File-> PasswordManager

Thanks for the info Cal. What do you mean depends? Does each bank have
different settings? In MS Money 2004, I could download items like Bank One
directly through MS Money, but I did not have to post my money to MSN Money.
I honestly have no desire to do that and would prefer to just keep my info
local, while being able to utilize the automatic downloads within Money.

Is that possible?

Thanks.

It depends on your bank, and what you choose to call "automatic".

It's kept on secure servers.

I just purchased MS Money 2006 and found that if I want to use the auto
download service, I have to have my data uploaded to MSN money. Is there any
way I can setup Money 2006 so I can automatically download info from my
banks, without having to upload my banking information to the web? I really
don't want my personal information scattered across the web.

Thanks.
