Quicken password length for online banking????

Marc Stergionis

I'm using a password manager that has generated secure passwords for my accounts. When I tried to download my checking information to Quicken I could not paste it from my PW manager and it also would not let me "pin" it out of my password manager into the PW field in the Quicken account setup.

After trying to type in my secure PW manager password to the Quicken account setup field, I finally realized that it would not accept all the characters. It looks like Quicken only allows 16 characters in a password. This Is Not Cool! Is there a way to increase password length in allowed in Quicken?

Hello @Marc Stergionis

Thank you for reaching out on the community and telling us about your issue. I do apologize for the issue you're having. unfortunately there is no way to increase the amount of characters allowed inside of quicken. I would recommend creating an idea post so that we're able to see the idea and also add votes for it to be added into Quicken. I'll leave a link below on how to do so.

@Marc Stergionis and @Quicken Francisco First, there is already an Idea thread for this issue:

https://community.quicken.com/discussion/7886520/password-length-limitation-of-quicken

Second, if you read that thread, you'll see that there is an industry standard OFX/QFX format limits passwords to a 32 character maximum, but many financial institutions impose shorter maximums. Checking the OFX logs from your financial institutions will show the maximum they they (not Quicken) are imposing.
