Hi @""Emily Lyn" ,

You need to log into Capital One Bank and authorize third-party access to your Quicken Data.

Have already done this. Have email from CapOne confirming.

I'm also having this issue, it's been going on for a month or two now, ever since I closed one of my Capital One accounts. I have a similar thread with some other people that have also been experiencing this, although no great solution (https://community.quicken.com/discussion/7882963/capital-one-asks-me-to-re-authorize-every-time-i-download). I would love to hear if there's a way to fix this because it has gotten to be EXTREMELY annoying to have to re-authorize my accounts every time I do a one-step update.


EDIT:
So for what it's worth, I finally just fixed this for myself. Definitely not the ideal solution, but it works.

After reading something in another thread, I decided to make a copy of my data file, and in that file I created a new account not tied to any online services.

I then took all of the transactions from the recently closed Capital One account and moved them into that newly created account. This was the somewhat tedious part because part of my split paycheck went into that account, so I had to go to the primary account where the paycheck was deposited and update the account in the split to the newly created account (luckily this account was only around for a couple years so it wasn't terrible).

After making sure all of the transactions had been moved over, I fully deleted the old account. I tested doing OSU's a few times, exiting and restarting Quicken, and I no longer am getting the authorization message. I might have a couple of reports to redo, though frankly since that account is closed I don't really care about it.

Hope this helps someone!

I don't have Capital One but it's doing it for my banking transactions with another Bank. It seems that there are more issues with Quicken anymore than no issues and it goes along with the latest update.
