Vanguard- I can't set up accounts on my Mac

Wiep

Every time I try to set up an brokerage account with Vanguard I get the following message:

"Oops We're having a problem. Quicken cannot communicate with Vanguard"

This has occured as i have tried to set up the account a few times over the last couple weeks.

Hello @Wiep

Thank you for the additional information. Vanguard users have been experiencing some issues for a bit but the issue seems to vary heavily person to person. I would recommend contacting Vanguard as Quicken does not have access to the financial institution's servers to correct the problem. I'll leave their link down below so you can find a time that works best for you.

Hello @Wiep

Thank you for taking the time to visit the Community to report this issue although, I apologize that you have not received a response.

I would begin by resetting the cloud. To do so, please see the steps below.

1. Go to Edit > Preferences > Quicken ID, Mobile & Alerts.
2. Click Reset your cloud data.

Once this has been completed, please attempt to add the vanguard accounts once more and let me know the results.

I still get the same "OOPS Quicken can't connect right now."
I went Quicken>Preferences>Connected Services and under "Cloud Account" pressed "Reset" A message popped up "Reset Quicken Cloud Reset will discard any Quicken Connected Services data that exists on the Quicken Cloud and replace it with information from your current Quicken File. I then pressed Reset. I then got the message "Resetting data in Quicken Cloud." This reset took a minute or so. I then tried to set up my Vanguard brokerage account and receive the "00Ps" message above.

Finally back to this problem.
Vanguard said if I can't connect to them it is a Quicken issue.

Let me review what I did for your original response on my Mac.
Quicken > Preferences > Connected Services
Cloud Account nicknamed "Quicken"
Pressed "Reset"
Pop up message "Reset will discard ... & replace from current Quicken file."
Logged out of Quicken and restarted.
Went straight to adding Vanguard.
Again got "Opps we are having a problem" "Quicken makes a secure connection to Vanguard in order to download your account information. Quicken is having a problem connecting right now. What would you like to do?"
Would one of the other options here help me? (Try again has never worked)
- Change the way Quicken connects to Vanguard, or
- Set up Manual account? (I don't want to continually add data manually but I could set up the accounts)
