My Capital One savings & credit card accounts have different logins, but Quicken won't differentiate

I don't check into quicken all the time - and didn't realize you had tried to answer my question before you closed the discussion so now I have to start over and to be honest I'm losing patience with Quicken. It works and then it doesn't work and I have to start over. My schedule is so busy - that now I went back into quicken and it's doing the same thing with Capital One again. Here's what I wrote originally. BTW I never received a notice from Quicken that there was a response to my original question.

Hi THERE

I have a Capital One savings account and several Capital One credit cards. They have different logilns but I just updated one and tried to update the cards, and it kept logging me in to the savings account versus the credit card account. I have tried to disconnect and start again, and it keeps logging me into the wrong account.

This has happened before, but it had been fine for a while. Now it's back. My Quicken Classic is updated on my MacBook Pro. I'm using the desktop app. How can I log out so I can update my credit card accounts? It won't let me no matter what I do. It looks like it has the card account as the only choice for Capital One. But like I said, they have two separate logins. Please advise what to do.

    To clarify, is the problem you're encountering that whichever login credentials you use first stay logged in on Capital One's website, making it impossible to authorize the accounts under the other set of credentials? If that is what's happening, then there are a few things you can try.

    • Temporarily set a different browser as your default, then authorize the accounts under the other credentials.
      • Using a different web browser should force Capital One to see it as a new connection and prompt you to log in.
    • Wait for the connection to time out (usually 15-30 minutes) before attempting to connect the accounts under the other credentials.
      • For security, most financial institutions will automatically log a session out after a set amount of time.
    • Navigate to Capital One's website, then log in and log back out again.

    I look forward to your reply!
