Version R22.17 Build 27.1.22.17
It's actually an online bill that I am having this issue with. I set the bill up several moths ago, had been working fine and all of a sudden I get a message that my username and password are incorrect. I go to the website enter the username and password and i am able log in. Go back to Quicken, enter username and password, and I get "invalid user name or password. please try again." I have removed the account from billing, restarted Quicken, tried to add the account back and have gotten the same results 4-5 times. This has been going on for about a week now.

Did you happen to recently change the password at the billing website -
Does the password have any "special characters" -

Jim Driscoll

I did not change the password. I have verified that the password stored in quicken is the same as the password that I entered when signing into the website.

I just got off the phone with PHH mortgage (aka mortgagequestions).
According to their web support specialist (who validated that I could log into their site and see my mortgage details) they have switched to a new web only view format that does not offer any linkable services or downloadable transfer file......no bueno!!

When I moved to where I live now, and bought a house, I also had PHH.

ABSOLUTELY HATED THEM!!!

Unable/Unwilling to answer even the simplest questions & ridiculous assumptions made regarding my escrow account (such as analyzing it one month before the county re-assessed ... making their analysis useless).

One of the best financial days of my life was when I refi'd away from them.

For whatever it's worth ... I would not bother attempting to activate any loan or mortgage account for downloading.  (Not discussing LOC or HELOC accounts here)

An online-connected loan or mortgage account does NOT have a transaction register. All data shown in the account come from whatever information the bank downloads to you ... if this process works at all.

As a result of being connected, the scheduled payment transaction reminder cannot transfer the amount of principal paid into the (non existent) account register and must use a category, usually something like Loan:Principal, instead.

• Effective with Quicken Windows 2018+
  you can deactivate an online-connected loan account and regain full control over your transaction register.  However, you should still review the Scheduled Reminder (or Memorized Payee List entry) associated with the monthly loan payments to ensure they now transfer Principal to the loan account register and not a Category.

• Users of Quicken 2017 and older:
  If you want to have full control over both the loan account register and the payment transactions you need to set up your loan account as a "manual loan account" and use the Scheduled Reminder created by the setup process to record your payment transaction on or before the due date.
  If you have already established a connected loan account and are having problems with it please take a look at this:
