Annoying problem with E*Trade Bank 2 Factor authentication

hdmster

I have been having this problem for a long time:

I have brokerage and banking accounts at e*Trade, and both of them are accessed with the same userID and password via Quicken E*TRADE.

The brokerage accounts update correctly, and apparently do not require me to enter the 2 factor authentication code. The E*Trade Bank accounts, however, do require the 2 factor code, but Quicken often (almost always) does not ask me for the code on the first try, and instead returns a CC-503 error. I then have to update again, and on the second try it ALWAYS asks for the code, and the update works correctly. I wish this bug could be fixed.

My E*Trade accounts, both brokerage and E*Trade Bank checking accounts, are not set up to use 2FA. Downloading appears to be working normal, even though I have suspicions about the brokerage accounts' downloads since their conversion from Direct Connect to Express Web Connect (but that would be a different discussion)

Have you tried turning off the security code option for both Quicken E*Trade and E*Trade Bank?
