Moneydance is a powerful yet easy to use personal finance app for Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone and iPad. With online banking, online bill payment, investment management and budgeting, Moneydance provides all the features of Quicken plus benefits such as ease of use and no sunsetting of features. Even with the release of Quicken 2019 for Mac, it doesn’t have every feature the Windows version has or function in exactly the same way. For some, there’s still the need to use Quicken 2019 Premier for Windows. One way is to use VMware Fusion. If you want to find out more about this process, you can read my article “How to Run Quicken.
Allright, more information. 1. No, I am not manually entering credentials each time. I simply deny all 7 or 8 Keychain access requests, then the download works without further problems. 2. If Quicken stores all bank logon IDs and passwords in the Keychain file, then why does my transaction download work perfectly after I deny all access? 3. I deny Quicken access to my Keychain file because I don't want Quicken to have free access to secure information it doesn't even need. My trust is thin. I've been burned enough. 4. All my passwords are stored in 1Password, but, again, I obviously had to provide Quicken with my clear-text bank account password or there wouldn't be any download at all. I did trust Quicken to store that password in a local file, not to spray it around the internet or go data mining in my computer. 5. One sample request looks like this: 'Quicken 2017 wants to use your confidential information stored in 'Intuit ID(W43K8wK6b3t5aMbSd8SDmQ-0)' in your keychain. Do you want to allow access to this item?' There are 5 or 6 more, with different alphabet soup specified, that come up right in a row. 6. I tried to chat with technical support about this notification but the guy I was chatting with had never heard of this message. He had me take a screen shot of it, then admitted that there was no way that he could look at this screen shot. Bottom line: I would like Quicken to stop asking me 7 or 8 times for access to keychain items before doing the bank data download.
