    I have gotten the message that I need to reauthorize my BOA accounts for the past 2 days. When I try, I get an error message on signing in. My login has not changed. I am able to log in on my mobile app and using Edge or Safari. Any idea when the connectivity for Quicken may be fixed? Thank you.

    Having the same exact issue

    Short version: I get the 400 error if I try to reauthorize through my Merrill account.

    Because all my accounts (BOA and Merrill) are visible to my Merrill account, for fun, I tried reauthorizing by selecting Merrill. I was able to log in my Merrill account. Just like when I tried to log in through my BOA account, all my accounts (BOA and Merrill) were listed. I selected all of them and got the the final permission page, then again i got the "HTTP Status 400 – Bad Request" error page.

    Both reauthorization paths appear to be broken.

    Sorry for the rant, but gosh, wouldn't it be nice once in awhile that an FI change didn't cause heartburn.

    I can not connect my checking account to Bank of America online

    1 - The account is disconnected and has never been activated
    2 - There are no existing 3rd party connection on Bank of America to revoke
    3 - I have read all of the relevant link and followed all the instructions on: Quicken BofA
    4 - I opened a ticket with Quicken support and I got no help at all

    Screenshot_2026-02-26_14-19-49.jpg

    Here is a step by step of the error.

    01.jpg 02.jpg 03.jpg 04.jpg 05.jpg 06.jpg 07.jpg 08.jpg

    Is there anything else I can try or anything I am missing here? Support is completely useless so I am hopeful the community can possibly help. To say I am disappointed in Quicken is an understatement.

    Thanks for any help or ideas!

    Hello again,

    The team handling this issue has returned with some feedback.

    If you're seeing an HTTP 400 error, can you please try a different web browser to see if the error occurs there as well? For instance, if you are using Microsoft Edge as your default browser, try switching to Chrome.

    Let us know your results!

    @Evan109 & @mlhill527,

    They believe the error you are seeing is caused by attempting to add a delegated account. Meaning you are an authorized user of this account, but not the owner of it. This is unsupported. You must be the owner of the account to add it. In the past, these accounts would just not show up to add, but now you will get the error you mentioned.

    If you are not attempting to add accounts that you are authorized users of, let me know, and I will report back to our team.

    @Mat Vega,

    Thank you for sending that over. I will get it added. It looks like you got connected successfully. Is that accurate?

    Looking forward to your responses!

    same problem even if I use add account drop down from the tools menu

    I have completed the process five or six times now, every time it is successful, however every time I try to do a sync it makes me do the process again. What gives? Is this a BofA issue or Quicken? Always stuck in the middle. It gives no error, it seems to work fine, but I still am prompted to update my connection method when I click to do a sync update every time.

    I too have followed the new rules as to deactivate, REVOKE and to reactivate. I have the similar error message as most regarding the third party login. I also was surprised when trying to add an account that Bank of America or even zzz - BofA was offered in the list of institutions. Waiting for a fix ……..

    @Quicken Alyssa

    I followed Quicken's directions - I deactivated all my Bank of America and Merrill Edge accounts.

    Then, I removed the Financial Institutions and Account #s from the Account Detail page on all my BoA and Merrill Accounts.

    Then, I revoked all the Quicken (Intuit) access in BofA security.

    I tried to Setup Downloaded Transactions again on all 5 accounts.

    I still received the 400 error - Bad network error.

    So, that didn't work. I do see that Bank of America gave access.

    I believe I am the owner of the account, when we opened the account 50 years ago, both myself and my wife were on it, but I believe I am the primary owner.

    you show the same steps and results that I went through so many times. I came across a solution that worked for me in a post earlier in this thread from a user that got it from reddit. I had to do it before the sign up step. “Before this will work, you need to log into BofA's website and deny access to Quicken on the 10 minute pop-up. Then go into Quicken to reconnect and the login will work." This worked for me I hope it does for you.

    @lalvarez1 thnaks that works

    When you get this 10 minute authorization pop-up, you need to decline access to Quicken instead of approving. Confirm permanently deauthorize and then go back into Quicken to set re-authorize and reconnect accounts.

    Use a web browser desktop to log into BofA. When you get the 10 minute authorization pop-up, you need to decline access to Quicken instead of approving. Confirm permanently deauthorize and then go back into Quicken to set re-authorize and reconnect accounts.

    After I select share my data, I receive a HTTP Status 400 - Bad Request

    When i open the third-party approval in the bofa security center it reads that I have an active third party connection with quicken

    By declining the Quicken pop-up from within the B of A website, I was able to reauthorize without a problem. Thanks to all for the input.
