Overview

You may receive one of the following errors when trying to add or update your accounts in Quicken: 

  • Error 103
  • "Did you mistype your sign-in info?"

These errors occur when your financial institution tells Quicken that your login credentials are incorrect or there are outdated login credentials stored in Quicken for Mac and/or the Keychain app.

Important: If you are adding an account for the first time, make sure you select the correct bank name. For example, Acme Bank is in Quicken as Acme Bank but also has another instance, Acme Bank Card Services, that is designated for credit card accounts.

First, deactivate all the accounts with the affected financial institution

  1. Open Quicken.
  2. Go to the Accounts menu and choose Hide and Show Accounts;
  3. Uncheck any accounts with this specific financial institution (FI) that are hidden in Lists;
  4. When complete, click on the account name for your account(s) in the Accounts toolbar in Quicken.
  5. Click the Settings icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.
  6. Select the Downloads tab.
  7. Click on Disconnect Account.
  8. Click Done. Do this on each account with this FI. 
  9. Quit Quicken.

Second, delete Quicken passwords from the Keychain

  1. Open Finder and go to Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access app;
  2. On the left panel in the Keychain app, set the Keychains to Login and the Category to Passwords.
  3. Find and delete any entries that show Quicken or Quicken Connect and this FI name;
  4. Quit the Keychain Access app and open Quicken.

Third, re-add the accounts

  1. Go to Accounts > Add Account.
  2. Type the name of the financial institution and make the appropriate selection.
  3. Enter your login credentials and click Continue.
  4. When Quicken has returned all accounts discovered for this FI, very carefully LINK each of the found accounts to the appropriate account you already have setup in Quicken.
