Quicken DeLuxe for Windows (11) accounts restored from BackUp - now endless Reauthorization required

Nemo

As stated in the title I restored all my accounts from Back Up. Now, each time I open Quicken, my American Express account is not set up for direct download and Quicken says I have to get authorization from the AMEX website before I can continue.

Hello @Nemo,

Thanks for sharing the details.

Please try the following steps below and see if it resolves the issue:

• Create a backup of your Quicken file first.
• Deactivate all American Express accounts in Quicken.
  • Select the Tools menu and select Account List....
  • In the Account List, select the account you want to deactivate, and then click Edit.
  • In the Account Details window, click the Online Services tab.
  • Click Deactivate next to the service you want to disable.

• • Click Yes to the message confirming if you want to disable this service. Note: If you do not receive this message, additional information is available below.
  • Click OK to the confirmation message.

  • Important: If you are deactivating/reactivating an account to fix an issue, you'll need to deactivate all the accounts with the affected financial institution that you have activated in Quicken (including hidden ones). Once they're all deactivated, then you can follow the steps to reactivate.
