Hi Cynthia (and group),

Thanks for the many responses posted. One-by-one, trying
these solutions, but have not rectified yet. Will
troubleshoot internet connection next and see if there's a
problem with my settings based on the public article below.

Will advise.

James,

Did you ever resolve your problem? I'm having the same
exact problem and I don't remember where my disk or case
is so I can't get any help for phone support. Don't know
what to do.

I had the same problem and it went away when I stopped Money Express while
running Money 2004. All of a sudden, my passport login started working
again.
This was after I had reinstalled Money 2004, deinstalled Money 2004 and
reinstalled it, moved to another Win XP system....

Some Google'ing found another user with the same problem
about a month ago. His solution worked for me...

1. Launch IE and go to http://moneycentral.msn.com/
2. Sign-in using your Passport login
3. Minimize IE (don't close it) and open MS Money
4. Voila! Your Passport sign-in works.

I suspect a problem with the Cookie being set via the
Passport login through Money but haven't investigated
further since I personally use Quicken on a Mac and the
friend I was helping doesn't use the Passport features so
the easiest solution was turn off the Passport logon
features of Money and leave the file unpassworded.

But perhaps someone wants to see if maybe Passport is
returning a per session cookie (i.e., it only lasts until
you close the browser) but Money is acting as if each
request is a new session instead of a continuation of the
previous one and expects to see a stored cookie?

If you have the same problem, perhaps the same solution would work
for you. See

I just replied but wanted to add that I don't use MSN to
access the internet I use a private internet provider.
only updated Money 2003, Windows XP, and McAfee in the
last 2 weeks. I have only had the trouble logging in
since about a week ago.

Thanks for any help provided.

I am also having the same problem. Have you recently
update a firewall software?

Knowledge Base article 331123 - Method 3 did the trick for me

If somebody had tried Money 2004 on your machine, and let it convert
your file, Money would have left a *.m12 file. Searching for that
was a convenient way to eliminate that possibility.

You should try contacting Microsoft directly to see if they have
some solution.

Same problem here, started a couple of weeks ago. I am
accessing my MSN passport portfolio on the web site all
the time w/o a problem, but Money 2004 suddenly refuses
to acknoledge the same password. I even changed my
passport password to see whether that does the trick, but
Money still refuses. It looks to me like either a Money
update or a MSN update caused this problem. I am glad
that I am not alone.

By the way, I do not have a *.m12 file on my HD. If that
should be there and was there (?), what removed it?

Different user, same problem. Trying to restore an .mbf
file but Money is rejecting the logon even though it works
on the website. Even have gone as far as trying to access
the file using the Money 2004 trial version installed on a
different computer -- freshly installed OS, first Money
install, first Passport login -- without success.

Did you try Money 2004? Is there a *.m12 file on you hard drive?

All of a sudden, I'm not able to log into MS Money '03,
Passport says incorrect password! Nothing has changed, as
I'm able to log in through MSN's homepage without problems.

MS Money Support suggests to re-install application if all
else fails. Did so, and now backup file I'm trying to use
to restore files asks for password - Says incorrect
password again!

How do I rectify this problem and/or remove password
protection from the backup file?

Didn't see this problem previously raised, thanks for any
help!
