MSN Money was unable to authenticate you.

This morning I was able to login to MSN money portfolio manager
without issue. I tried to refresh the page and now i get the error
"MSN Money was unable to authenticate you. Click OK to refresh the
page and try again". I am on vista using IE 8.0.6001.18828

I have no problems going to the same page on my XP machine and I
already tried logging out of MSN and back in and added all of the
Microsoft websites to my trusted zones in IE and restarted browser
with no luck.

This really has me wishing that the Deluxe version didnt go away :<

 

Were you using MSN to get to the Portfolio, or were you using Internet
Explorer?
Were you using a shortcut/favorite/bookmark? Or were you starting at
http://moneycentral.msn.com and navigating to the Portfolio from this MSN
Money home page?
On the MSN Money home page, did you try clicking the Sign In/Out link at the
top right to sign out and then back in?

I was just using IE, going to the MSN website, click Money, then
Portfolio. Also tried bookmark. Cleared my temp internet files.
Compared my IE Advanced tab options to working pc and they are the
same. CLicked Sign out in top right corener then signed back in.
Installed Live Messenger and logged in with no luck either.

 

Are you saying that you had the same problem logging into Live Messenger as
well?

Can you get to other areas of MSN Money that require the sign in (for
example Banking - My Accounts)?
Do you have another Windows Live ID you can try signing in with? That would
help determine if it's a problem with data associated to the WLID that is
failing.

Everything else works fine for my ID and the portfolio was working
fine until I hit refresh on the page one time and started to get the
error. Live messenger works, all other MSN pages work. Even the
portfolio works fine on my other PCs, but they are not Vista (not sure
if its Vista that is the issue since I have only one Vista pc).

 

Since it (the WLID) is working fine in other areas and since you can access
your Portfolio on other computers using this WLID, this means there's no
problem with your WLID or your Portfolio data.

There must be a problem/conflict on your Vista machine then.
Have you tried doing a full reset to defaults in IE (Tools - Internet
Options - Advanced - Reset...)?
Try another browser temporarily (like Firefox) to verify if it an IE problem
or a problem in Vista itself.
It may also be due to a conflict with something else running on this system
that is NOT on the other systems (for example some security software,
anti-spam, anti-virus, etc)

Firefox worked fine, so its an IE 8 issue. Tried resetting browser
defaults with no luck not that I expected it to fix since it worked
before I hit F5 to refresh the darn page. None of the IE settings
jump out at me as the solution....can you think of one?

You might check Tools->ManageAdd-ons in IE8, and disable any that
look as if they might block something.

You could turn off the IE8 Tools->PopupBlocker to see if that helps
for troubleshooting.

You could try launching IE8 by right-clicking the IE8 launch icon,
and RunAsAdministrator.

 

Or it might simply be a corrupted cookie for moneycentral.msn.com

I tried disabling all add-ons, deleted my cookies, disabled popup
blocker and launching IE as an administrator ( though I am logged on
as an admin). Still no luck...running out of options.

 

I had the same problem with Vista. I have since installed Windows 7 and
still have the same problem using IE. However, everything works fine using
Mozilla.

Here is the answer that worked for me from another forum:

I finally figured it out. It took hours on the phone with Microsoft... Delete
all you cookies and history. Then MAKE SURE YOUR PC CLOCK is set correctly.
Mine was off a day and that is what was causing the problem. Good luck!
