A Few Tips...

How do I edit my Account settings after this?

As you use CheckBook, you might find it necessary to change some of your Account settings. You can get back to the Account Options at any time by selecting the Edit Account... menu item from the Account menu at the top of the screen. That will reveal the same sheet we've been working in during this overview.

Do I really need an Account password?

It depends, really. If you feel like you need to protect some Accounts and not others, then you should use an Account password for each Account. If you just want to protect all of your Accounts with the same password, however, it's far easier to use the Global Password option, which you can get to under the Security tab in CheckBook's Preferences. If you use the Global Password, your Account password is still in effect - it's up to you to turn it off. That way, you only have to enter one password when you launch CheckBook and select each Account.
