[moneydance] encryption methods, password protection methods?

[Hans Derycke]

As far as I know, MD does not store your online banking passwords. The  
first time you access a bank since starting MD, you'll be asked for  
your password, but on subsequent attempts you won't be. And when you  
shut down MD and start it again, upon accessing your bank, you'll get  
prompted again.
