Overview

If you're getting invalid password errors when you update your accounts, the Password Vault may contain incorrect information. The best way to correct this is to recreate the Password Vault. In order to recreate the Password Vault, you need to print a record of the stored passwords, delete the Password Vault, and then create it again.

You can also use the steps below if you have forgotten the Vault password.

Note: Deleting the Vault will not delete any of your transaction data. It will only delete the bank passwords stored in the Vault.

To print the Password Vault

If you're not sure what your passwords are, you can print the Password Vault first to see the passwords that are stored.

1. Choose the Tools menu > Password Vault > Add or Edit Passwords....
