Issue with Alight Solutions Connection

My company just switched to Alight Solutions and I'm trying to connect. I've followed the instructions for Username / Password on Quicken for Mac but I keep getting the message "Incorrect Customer ID or Password/PIN" and "Alight Solutions did not accept your login. Please try again." I know I am using the correct login credentials, so that is not the problem.

I got on the phone with Alight. And like others who have tried in the past, the person I spoke with knows nothing about the issue. In fact, she kept insisting the problem was with Quicken! I tried to explain that others have had this issue but she just pointed the finger at Quicken and say get support from them.

I saw this was an issue in December / January per this thread and it seemed to be resolved, but it still is not working for me :(

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Perhaps someone from Quicken and/or Alight (Mike Cunningham) is reading this and can help?

    Here are answers to your questions:

    1. I’m running Quicken Deluxe version 6.1.1 (Build 601.37924.100)

    2. Confirmed, I do not have any hidden accounts connected to this financial institution.

    3. There are no accounts associated with Alight Solutions in my Quicken since I was not able to “add” the account.

    4. There were no references to Alight Solutions in my Keychains

    5. Followed the prompts to sign in using your login credentials associated with the financial institution, but it failed again with same error “Incorrect Customer ID or Password/PIN”)

    Hello @Pesh115

    Thank you for the response and the additional details.

    I would still recommend contacting support directly for help reviewing the logs.

    https://www.quicken.com/support#contact-support

    Quicken Care can help to locate the error in the logs to give you more information to provide the financial institution to help gain traction and get an escalation.

    Thank you,

    -Quicken Tyka

    Have you also entered your company's ID as part of your user name? Please see the attached screenshot for the explanation. Note that your company's code is not [Removed - Code]. You'll have to get that from either Alight or your benefits department.
