Capital One 360 keeps asking me to authorize account

LynnCzapla

I have read and tried all of the options available in the previous threads. Is there something else? I can sign into capital one on the web site and the phone app just fine.

I'm having same issue as Rob. It happened yesterday and today!

I had same issue this morning.  After several times trying to reauthorize and receiving confirmation emails, I disconnected the account, but was not able to reconnect the account.  I then logged into Capital One site and unlinked the Quicken authorization.  I was then able to reconnect the account and successfully run the update for the account.

I am having a similar issue. When I use my Capital One login, it tells me that it is invalid. If I go to Capital One's website, the login works perfectly fine.

I tried the Account deactivate / activate process and everything is working now. Thanks DaufuskieNate!!

IT DOESN'T WORK. I tried deactivating the link on the Quicken website and also deactivating each of my several Capital One 360 accounts on Quicken. I then tried to activate one and went through the sign in process for the new method. However, it failed again with error message CC-501 "unable to connect with Quicken servers at this time." Now, I cannot even get partial downloads (which I had before) because I deactivated all accounts.

Sorry, I had the problem too, but fixed as I posted above.  I am curious (if before trying to reconnect your accounts within Quicken) did you go to the Capital One site and unlink the Quicken app?  You would do this by Logging into Capital One, then going to the Security window, then selecting the unlink icon at the far right of the Linked Apps section, and then you get the pop up that would allow you to unlink the Quicken app.  I attached a screen shot of what you would see.

Yes, I did remove the "linked app" on Capital One website in the exact manner you describe. I then deactivated each of my Capital One 360 accounts on Quicken. I then tried to reactivate them and got the error message I described. Despite the error message, if I look in Quicken on the account details, online services tab, it does say the accounts are set up for transaction download. Moreover, if I got back to Capital One security settings, it now shows "Linked app" for Simplify Quicken.

However, despite those positive signs, downloading does not actually work for these accounts when I do one step update. I can also go to an account in Quicken and manually click on "update transactions" but when I do, I get a strange error: A browser window opens to this URL "https://financialdataaggregation.api.intuit.com/soap/api" and I get error message "AuthenticationFailed INPUT"

On the other hand, my kids' accounts at Capital One 360 which have their own login did get authenticated without the same problem or errors and I can do a one step update or manually click "update transaction."

None of these are accounts are connected via express web connect+. That particular method does not work at all.

Thank you for your reply.  Sorry, I could not contribute to a solution.

I am having this problem too, I have tried all the steps. Each time I remove the access from CapitalOne, it does get re-added by Quicken but then Quicken reports "invalid credentials for accounts" (have two). This last worked on Saturday or perhaps it was Friday. It started last night (Sunday).

aboxbaum

having same issue, and have tried, connected, got an email saying they are connected and quicken asks again. I would conclude quicken and Capital one are having a problem, and not waste your time deactivating and reactivating, unless not resolved in a couple of days

aboxbaum

Correction
the message i get is you have signed in but quicken cannot find your account "Capital One"

akwicken17

Same problem here. I get an email form CapitalOne with the subject "You linked Quicken to your Capital One account", but Quicken will still not connect. I agree with[Removed-Personal Info] wait and see if Quicken are able to resolve this.

I had this and deactivating in Quicken, then going to CapOne and unlinking and reactivating worked. However, the balances were off on some of my accounts and I can't see quite where so I had to enter place holders to adjust.

I have re-authorized my CapitalOne accounts yet each One-Step-Update has the msg they need to be re-authorized. Whats the solution?

GW123

Got message that I need to reauthorize my Capital One accounts (I have two). Tried at least ten times over three days, but it doesn't work. Error CC-501. Yes, I have already attempted to deactivate and reactivate.
Interestingly, every time I get an automated email from Capital One that I have linked my accounts to Quicken, but on the Quicken side they don't look linked and don't update.

michaelweinberg

Exactly the same thing is happening to me with respect to my Capital One accounts. I'm using Quicken Mac.

rwjr

I had a similar problem that started about three days ago. I re-authorized multiple times, but it didn't work. I fixed it by going to Tools -> Account List -> Edit Capital One Account -> Online Services Tab -> Click the "Reset Account" Button and entered my Capital One credentials. My updates are now working again.

lagunajon

Doing the “Reset Account” described above fixed the issue for me too. Thanks for posting.

miniappleman

The fix stated is not working on the Mac version. The troubleshooting/reset name & password brings up the same Reauthorization window that does not work from the update list instead of the normal troubleshooting reset script. Believe that the Reauthorization window is setting the initial character (if password starts with lower case letter) of the password field to upper case. It is doing that in the user name entry field. This would make my PW entry invalid. Can log in to Capital One directly and have no issue with current user name and password.

Sorry, didn't notice that screen had gone to the windows section. :-/

I have several Capital One and Capital One 360 accounts, and a Capital One credit card. A few days ago, when I did a One Step Update, a message popped up that Capital One needed to reauthorize my accounts. I clicked on the reauthorize button, and it looked like it started the process, but then I got a message saying, "You have signed in to Capital One 360 correctly, but the following accounts could not be found." It lists my 2 accounts and advises to check my user name and password and try again.

The user name and password are correct. When I log into Capital One, Capital One shows that I am sharing data with Quicken. I have the same exact problem when I try to add my wife's capital one credit card.

WindowViper

Same problem here. This is obviously a problem that can only be resolved between Quicken and Capital One. So Quicken Support folks, stop telling people to spend ridiculous amounts of time on this and just send out a general announcement when it's fixed.

WindowViper

Quicken Paloma, you asked me to elaborate about the nonsense error message I am receiving. It's the same as what others are getting, after going through the reauthorization process and checking off the account(s) listed that process: "You have signed in to Capital One Card - Current successfully, but the
following account was not found." The account described in that message, and its name in Quicken, is unchanged from what it's always been, working as it should -- until now.

WindowViper

Two other points, Quicken Paloma. (1) The initial error message for me is CC-901, not CC-501 as mentioned by others. (2) I went through the Validate and Repair File routine in Quicken and that didn't help.

Bob Schenot

The open alert link sheds no light. Is there any progress? Have the same error this morning.

Scott Zucker

One quick update: I have received verification emails from Capital One confirming that I have linked my accounts. When I log into the Capital One website, it shows that I am sharing data with Quicken. For some reason Quicken still shows that the accounts need to be reauthorized.
