PNC log-in generates cc-503 error

umpteentimes

For the past three weeks, I have not been able to log in from Quicken in Windows to my PNC accounts using Direct Connect. A log-in screen appears asking for a social security number and pin number, which haven never before been requested and don't even work. No matter what I type, I get a cc-503 error response. I have checked my PNC account and made sure everything is updated. I could really use some help here. Thank you.

@umpteentimes - Please confirm the connection method you have set up with PNC.  CC-XXX error codes typically are caused by Express Web Connect connection issues.  You can confirm the connection method in Account List or on the Online Services tab of Account Details.

@Boatnmaniac The connection method is Direct Connect. I was just able to reach PNC and they confirmed it's a problem on their end and hope to have it resolved in a matter of days. In the meantime, they suggest downloading transactions manually.
Thank you for your response.

@umpteentimes - Thanks for letting me know.  I'm glad PNC confirmed it's their problem.  It gives some confidence that the problem is understood and being worked on.

Thanks, Anja. I deactivated my Direct Connect account but when trying to restore the account, I am asked to login using a SS number and PIN, which has never been the case before. No matter what I type in, I get a restore asking if I mistyped the login and showing a CC-503 error code. PNC continues to say it's working on it but it's been a month now!

I'm having same problem now as umpteentimes. Whatever PNC fixed, it wasn't the CC-503 problem.
