That wouldn't be viable long term with two companies sharing the same IntuitID and verification servers. At that time the same IntuitID and verification servers were used for all Intuit products, including Quicken. Intuit sold off their Quicken product about a year and half ago. Not a big deal, but also not super smooth. Just put in the username/passwords for each account you wanted to connect with. So, when they bought Quicken they didn't buy the Quicken Ids? It went fine for me, but you used to not need an ID. It's simply a transition from the ID being used within Quicken formerly being hosted on, former owners of Quicken, to, the new owners of Quicken after it was sold.
