Quicken needs to support passkey login to accounts now. I already have one institution that only accepts passkey logins
My HealthEquity HSA is the only account I have that is requiring passkeys, so until Quicken Simplifi adds passkey support, I'm unable to add my account to Simplifi. I expect that other banks and brokerages are heading in a similar direction. Thank you for your attention on this!
Agreed on this for HealthEquity! I don't see any other way to bypass it. Maybe there can be a browser-based authentication that then puts you back into Quicken?
This Product Idea regards Quicken Classic. Quicken Classic and Quicken Simplifi are 2 separate and non-compatible personal financial planning Quicken platforms. Since you are using Simplifi you might want to go to the Community for Simplifi and posting this improvement idea for Simplifi.

I agree that there is a trend that is starting to head down this path of requiring passkeys instead of traditional logins. It's just really been getting started over the last 1-2 yrs but indications are that this will start becoming much more prevalent in the not too distant future. Perhaps Quicken is already involved in this and I'm guessing Intuit needs to be as well but it is good to post this idea to help ensure this need is or gets on their radar.
I would also like to see passkey support added so that some of the accounts that I've had to switch to manual maintenance can be updated using OSU again. HealthEquity is just one of several for which this is now the case.
Quicken developers, please consider implementing passkeys on your website and also the connectivity to accounts in Quicken and LifeHub. Passkeys are one way to implement phishing-resistant authentication and are inherently more secure than text messages or emails. Tycoon 2FA is still operating and will continue to try and intercept and steal information. We need a way to connect to our financial institutions that have already implemented passkeys which are required to login.
I also would like to join LifeHub but do not feel comfortable entering my Personal Information to possibly have it compromised by a man in the middle attack like Tycoon. It is just a matter of time, before someone clicks on a phishing link by accident as they are convincingly good at their phishing emails and fake website designs even more now that AI plays a part.
Is there an update that can be shared on this topic and whether it is in the current sprint or increment for this year and what priority it is assigned?
Voted and agree.
Most FIs that have implemented passkeys, still support passwords. But I have two FIs that switched exclusively to passkeys. They no longer allow, support or accept passwords. And neither provide QFX downloads. Hence these accounts are now disconnected in my Quicken data file. Fortunately in my specific case I only have a few monthly transactions that I can enter manually. If this trend continues faster than anticipated, there will be no way to use Quicken downloads and therefore both, Quicken and users will suffer.
A note to the Moderators: IMHO Quicken should not wait for more votes on this, rather encourage the teams to take this seriously given that it may take a year+ in collaboration with Intuit to implement it. Assuming Quicken is already working on this, then it will be helpful to accordingly update the status of this idea post. Thank you.
This forum is for the desktop Q products. You're referencing Simplifi, which is an entirely different product, with a separate forum.
I.E., you're barking up the wrong tree.

I agree with BK. Implementing passkeys is vital, but if you leave password login in place also then you are leaving the front door unlocked.
Agreed!!
@tlpwis , I suggest to click on the vote button at the top of the post to increment the vote count. Unless I am mistaken I think the count was 21 yesterday before your comment and still is 21 now. Quicken requires about 50 counts (not comments) to consider the idea. Thank you.
I agree that passkey support or authenticator app support is necessary. I have two financial institutions that have moved to these and quite frankly, with all the data breaches out there, password/user id combinations are a disaster waiting to happen.
