It's actually been a year now. I think it's an issue with 2 factor authentication. If I disable it on Citi, the sync works. However, then I have to remember to re-enable it. I've been a Quicken user for more than 20 years, and I have 5 Citi accounts. [Removed - Speculation/Inaccurate]

This actually just started for me a week ago, but I can only refer back to a Community link that hasn't gotten updated in 3 months. Asinine.
Mine was working connecting to Citibank snd Pulling transactions and on 4/5 I started getting the error. It is like the key that it uses expired and did not renew automatically.
CC-502 message started and downloads stopped early April 2023 after Citi required me to change/update my password.
Citi card transactions not downloading. Can't change to "Express Connect"
It's time for my Quicken subscription to renew. If it doesn't work, why should I ?

Thank you.
I am having the CC-502 too while trying to update transactions from Citi credit card. It has been going on for a couple of weeks now.
What finally worked for me was…..Log into your Citi Account, click on Profile then in the dropdown click more settings, manage desktop apps, then click on add access. You will then have 10 minutes to go to Quicken, open your Citi account, click on the settings icon, then Online Services, and Reset your Account. Follow the instructions then make sure you link it to your existing account that is already in Quicken.
REMEMBER TO MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR QUICKEN DATA BEFORE YOU DO THIS!! If you happen to mess up somewhere, at least your data will be protected. Worst case senerio would be to reinstall Quicken if you really mess up badly and then use your backup to get you back to square one. If you are not comfortable or familiar with the setting in Quicken, call support. At least you will know how to allow access in Citi Bank.
Thank you for figuring this out. Worked like a charm!
Thank you so much! This is working now.
Thank you! It worked for me too when I followed your steps.
I've repeatedly allowed Citi access, and confirmed with Citi that Quicken access has been granted. This issue has been ongoing since last fall and is extremely frustrating. @quicken Kristina, please help [Edited - Readability].
Thank you for the update,
I'm glad to hear it is working now.
I have found that Quicken will update if I turn off 2FA. When I turn 2FA back on and go through the Citi process to authorize Quicken again I cannot update Quicken. When I turn off 2FA again I can again update.
Are Quicken and Citi trying to correct this issue and allow updating with 2FA?

If you have credit cards issued through Citi, one thing that should allow you to bypass having to toggle 2FA is connecting via Direct Connect. To do that, you would first backup your file, then deactivate the affected account(s). Once that is done, reconnect your account(s) by going to Tools>Add Account, select Citi Cards, click the Advanced Options link, choose Direct Connect, and follow the prompts.
You can find more information on connecting to Citi via Direct Connect using this FAQ.
Thanks for this. I was about to do the same, but a shortcut worked for me: I did the "Add Access" part on the Citi site, but then just went to Quicken Desktop and updated my accounts per usual. Citi downloaded just fine then.
