I started MD today build 2015.4 (1220). I went to update my account balances and MD did not remember any of my account passwords. I've tried deleting the Online connection and then recreating it, but MD still prompts me for the PW. Running on a Mac under OS X 10.9.5.

    Hi,

    Moneydance will allow you to save your online passwords only if your dataset is encrypted with a passphrase for security purposes. If you'd like to enable this please do the following:

    Open Moneydance.
    Click the File menu -> Encryption .
    Check the box marked Encrypt Data File.
    Choose and confirm a passphrase and hint.
    Check the box marked Store Online Passwords in File.
    Click O.K.

    The next time you enter your online passwords, Moneydance will store them in your dataset for later use. You will need to enter your passphase each time you access your dataset. Please be sure not to lose your passphrase, encrypting the file will make your data completely inaccessible to both you, and anyone else without the correct passphrase!

    Hope this helps, and feel free to contact me with any questions about this process!

    The menu item appears changed in late versions of Moneydance. It's now File | Passwords...

    Yes, that's correct. In the latest version, data files are encrypted by default, so calling that option encryption doesn't make much sense any more. One still needs to enter a master password for a data file to store banking passwords for security purposes.
