Question about removing my WLID from MS Money RRS feed

    Most of the time, when I get into MS Money, I don't have a lot of time to review notices, etc.  Tonight I had a little more time, and I see that they're going to remove the need for Windows Live ID login, when getting into MS Money.  And there's instructions on how to remove it, etc.

    What happens, though, with MSN Bill Pay?  If I remove my Windows Live ID, will MSN Bill Pay stop working?

    I don't know. I would guess no.

    I would check that you indeed have recent backups. Then remove the LiveID. If you don't like the result for any reason, restore the backup that preceeded your making the change. File->Restore is the undo mechanism.

    You could ask CheckFree, which actually runs the service, but just trying it seems easier.

    While you are thinking about backups, you might want to increase the number of backups that Money retains. Plus check that your scheduled backups are to different media, such as a flash drive. It's always a good idea to review your backup procedures.

    After removal of the LiveID, consider if you want to apply another passwording method on your files.
