what if every account went to 2 level security? One step would take hours to go thru the current process.
Hello @343230,
I understand the concern with having to complete a two-step verification process during updates, especially if multiple financial institutions required it.
However, these security prompts are typically enforced by the financial institution as part of their authentication requirements, rather than something Quicken is choosing to add. If Bank of Tennessee is requiring the two-step verification every time and that is not expected behavior for your account, we can help determine whether it is coming from the bank connection or the Quicken file.
One way to test this would be to create a new test file and add only the Bank of Tennessee account. If the same two-step verification prompt occurs with every One Step Update in the test file, that would indicate it is being required by the financial institution. If it does not happen in the test file, then we can look further into the existing Quicken file.
If you’d like to try the test file, let me know and I can provide the steps.
Thank you!
@343230 IF it's shown to be the bank that's enforcing this … I'd switch banks. Which I've done a few times in the past when bank requirements became onerous.
My record-keeping, in Q, is more important to me than the relationship with ANY financial institution.
I.E., "vote with your feet", and be sure to tell them why.
Hello again,
We haven't heard back from you in a while. Do you still need assistance?
Check back and let us know! Thank you.
Checking in once more before this thread is closed. Let us know if you still need assistance.
If it's the bank that is requesting 2FA security with every download … I'd complain to the bank. They should be able to recognize if you're coming in from the same IP address and then only require 2FA every 3 months or so. Ditto for the EWC+ authorization process with refresher prompts only every few months.
Due to the lack of response, I went ahead and closed this post.
If you still require assistance, please feel free to start a new post.
