About improving security for your Money
file
Password-protected Money files offer a high level of security,
but you can take several additional steps to help ensure that your
Money file remains as secure as possible:
- Set up a password that you use only for your Money file, or use
a Windows Live ID, which help protect your Money file and give you
access to convenient online features. The Windows Live ID will
assist you if you forget your password, whereas if you forget a
regular Money password, it cannot be recovered.
- If other people use the computer where you keep your Money
file, avoid having Money remember your passwords for you, such as
your sign-in password, your Windows Live ID password, or your bank
or brokerage passwords.
- Be sure to keep a record of your password in a secure place.
Choose a password you can easily remember but that others cannot
easily guess.
