I retract my OK. The login worked for three times, on the fourth, clap, I
get the password problem. The only solution at this time is to click option
to not use passport items.

MS - any fix coming soon!!!

thanks, worked for me too.
I recently upgraded from V10 to v12 and was very annoyed by the randomness
of this problem. I uninstalled V10, then download the eval copy of V12 for a
day to see if the upgrade was worth the expense. Saw that it was, bought the
CD retail, then uninstalled v12eval and installed retail V12. This problem
started happening about a week after I installed V12 retail.
Deleting the directories containing the XML files did the trick.

I take it back. The problem has returned already, only three hours later.
Damn it.

I finally disabled passport as my fix. It was getting too frustrating
and there was no fix in sight. I did attempt to delete my temporary
files to no avail. (Also: This was happening on both of my machines
so I can't imagine that they would both get the same issue ...
although it's possible.)

Anyway: Chugging along just fine now without passport.

I deleted two ugly files from the "My
documents\username\userdata\ugly name"directory:

httpmoneycentralmsncomarticlesdatadeluxewebmenuasp .xml
httpmoneymsncomarticlesdatadeluxewebmenu.xml

I basically did a search all on *.xml from the c: drive.

This fixed passport. Now if I could just balance my
checkbook.

I was having logon issues, this worked for me:

"vsv" was having Passport "sign-in unsuccessful" errors but found these were
resolved by going to "C:\Documents and Settings\<username> \Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\" and deleting the Money folder with all
its subfolders.

I was having the same problems signing into my Money with the Passport option enabled until just a few moments ago: as suggested elsewhere, I cleared my temporary internet files. All is well now.

I see that I'm not the only one having password problems with Money.
Recently I've had to re-enter my password several times in order to get
in. Today that didn't work at all - I just couldn't sign in no matter
what.

I'm quite sure I did not forget the password. Nor is caps lock set on.

It seems to be some kind of Passport problem, because if I turn off
Passport access, I can at least get access to the account. (I'm sure you
can imagine how I'd feel if all my financial data went poof!) Yet I'm
still able to sign in to Hotmail using Passport.

Anyone have more information on this problem?

FYI, I'm using Money 2003 Deluxe on Windows XP.

More interesting was the third bit of voodoo in the following FAQ:
---
Q): Are there any other voodoo tricks that might solve my problem?

A): Voodoo describes seemingly quirky methods that work in strange and
unexplainable ways. A number of voodoo incantations for different symptoms
follow.

All kinds of odd problems in M03 and M04 have been reported fixed by running
the command "regsvr32 msxml3.dll" from the Start|Run box. Nobody seems to
know how registrations for this DLL get trashed, but when they do, bad
things happen.

A chestnut that works occasionally in recent versions of Money is going into
Internet Explorer Internet Options (from IE Tools or from the desktop
Internet Options or from the Internet Options control panel) and deleting
all temporary internet files.

"vsv" was having Passport "sign-in unsuccessful" errors but found these were
resolved by going to "C:\Documents and Settings\<username> \Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\" and deleting the Money folder with all
its subfolders.

Tommy Becker lobbied for inclusion of another classic piece of voodoo in the
FAQ by and it certainly seems to fit nicely in this answer and nowhere else.
Tommy was having problems with different account balances in different
account views, as was a predecessor, "bcmbde," who couldn't get account
balances to agree between the register and account list. In both cases
several account transactions had somehow gotten lost in the bowels of Money.
They found this method, originally contributed by Mark, and updated by Cal
Learner and Tommy Becker helpful:

1. Make a copy of your Money data file.
2. Open that copy.
3. Delete ALL transactions in the problem account
4. Export that account as a QIF file
5. Examine the QIF file in Notepad.
6. If it is not empty and shows one or more transactions, then those are
likely the culprits.
7. Note the details of those transactions
8. Open up your original file
9. Import the QIF file
10. This should reveal the hidden transactions. So you can now do with them
as you wish (Delete, modify, etc).

To delete transactions in step 3, Clear the Tools|Options|Editing
Confirmation Options boxes. Sort the cash transactions register by
increasing date. Select the bottom transaction and click these keys in
rotation: Delete, Enter, <cursorUpArrow> . Listen for the audible sound. If
the audible sound changes, look at the screen.

It is possible that some shorter method exists. For example, rather than
deleting all of the transactions, just delete the last few months. Then look
at the QIF file for newer entries.

If you have an idea what problem transactions you are going after, you may
find it easier to delete all of the other transactions in the .QIF file
since it can just be done in Notepad or WordPad much easier than deleting
potentially thousands of transactions in Money.

I haven't tried this, but it seems that this would have the potential to
cause real problems with unbalanced transfers. YMMV. Such is the joy of
voodoo.

There was one report that clearing internet temporary files helped
this, but it was probably coincidence. In Internet Explorer delete
your browser temporary files with
Tools-> InternetOptions-> DeleteFiles.

Do you use the features that passport enables? Otherwise you could
remove the passport after your next successful sign-in.
