This is an attempt to describe what can do if you are having
problems with the current Passport problem. Check
http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com...orkstatus.aspx
for later information.

If you have Money 2004 or earlier file with a Passport on it, there
is currently a problem with logging in online with those pre-Money
2005 versions. Upgrading of a Money 2004 or earlier file with a
Passport on it will not work. If you can remove the Passport, you
can upgrade and put a Passport/LiveID on the file.


Method 1.

Log in offline. In Money 2004, you should be able to click where it
says "I don't need to use online features that require Microsoft
Passport".

The Passport information you will need to log in with is that in
effect when you closed the file.

Method 2.

Make a copy of your Money file (*.mny) under a different name.

Log in offline. In Money 2004, you should be able to click where
it says "I don't need to use online features that require Microsoft
Passport".

Then File-> PasswordManager, attempt to remove your Passport. If
that is successful, you can continue to work with your current
version without Passport. For the North American versions at
least, except for the passwording aspect, the Passport-enabled
features would have expired anyway. You can add a conventional
password to keep the file secured from the mildly curious.

You can upgrade to a new version after successfully removing the
Passport in your older version. If you do that, you could add your
Passport/LiveID back after converting to the new version. Note
that Money Plus will allow you to do "Background Banking" direct
OFX FI statements downloaded in the background, even if there is
no LiveID on the file. If you have Money download statements from
institutions where a third party is involved, you will still need a
LiveID on the file.

Method 3.

Wait until a fix is working. Don't do the "don'ts". Check
http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com...orkstatus.aspx for
updated information.



Don'ts:

Don't change your Passport/LiveID. If you do, use the one in
effect when you saved the file to get in.

Don't delete your Passport/LiveID. There may or may not be
recovery from that one. I don't know.

Do's.

Make a copy of your *.mny file and latest *.mbf onto flash drive or
burn it onto a CD or DVD. While being reminded that things can
fail, don't have your only Money files on your hard drive.

Microsoft's acknowledgement of the problem and somethings you can try to
resolve the issue temporarily:
