Bank of America - Reauthorization Error [Edited]

I've had the same problem for three days now. My three Bank of America accounts were connected to zzz-Bank of America. I did the following:

-I deactivated all three accounts

-deleted the zzz financial institution in the account details

-deleted the web page data in the account details

-revoked access on the Bank of America web site

-changed my default browser

-I cleared my browser cache, cookies and browsing history on both browsers

When adding a new account through Tools I get the above "Something went wrong" error message. Any idea when this will be addressed?

Did you try the above ? This worked for me. Its the popup you get every-time you login with browser to BOA. Decline that as well.

"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."

Another piece of information:

When I get the "HTTP Status 400 – Bad Request" I cancel the reauthorization in Quicken.

Then, when I log into my BOA account, I see that the third party access was granted—it's listed among my consents (attached below when I tried again just now).

So, it looks like the reauthorization process gets as far as granting the third party access before going off the rails.

This is the way, thank you! Was driving me crazy - back to normal now

Problem still persists for Quicken connecting to BOA. mlhill527 and Rick56 your screenshots is what I am getting. I just updated my version to 8.5.0 (on Mac 26.3)

This is a little furstrating getting this at the end of month, and hopes it does not keep me from closing my books on my small business.

I tried to reauthorize my Bank of America accounts this morning. No luck. Still get the 400 page error.

During a later one-step update, Quicken prompted me to reauthorize my Merrill accounts. Given the issues with Bank of America and not being able to reauthorize those via either my Bank of America or Merrill login, I'm not doing anything furhter until the 400 page error issue is resolved.

It's bad enough my BOA downloads are broken, but the last thing I need right now is my Merrill accounts broken as well. 😟

I finally got mine to work. I believe the key was:

First to revoke third party access on the Bank of America website.

Second, deactivate the account in Quicken

Third, go through the reconnect account process in Quicken.

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.

The key, at least for me, was to decline third party access, once I did that and went back through the reconnect process, it worked.

I was successful using both Chrome and Safari.

I have a full-service account at ML but can't seem to find a way to reconnect through ML instead of BOA so I can do Complete Transactions. Could it be that an ML Edge account may have that capability while a full-service account doesn't? Thanks for any guidance.

I've been dealing with this since the 26th of February. After trying all of the suggestions from here and from Quicken support, Quicken support finally suggested this morning that I uninstall Quicken completely and delete all Quicken files and folders - even the hidden ones - then reinstall and see if I can then connect with BoA (I never get to the BoA sign-in screen when trying to add the account).

This seems to be a non-trivial exercise and seems kind of drastic when I've not seen this recommended or even suggested anywhere online. What I have received previously is a series of dissimilar suggestions - including the telephone support person I spoke to this morning telling me that Quicken can't fix it and I can't fix it.  Only BoA can fix it.  So, just wait for that to happen.

Interesting situation. I'll keep working at it.

Thank you for your comment
I tend to agree that uninstalling and reinstalling will solve it. Yes, I revoked access at BoA and changed my default browser from Edge to Chrome - making sure that pop-ups are allowed. I also:
- Disabled my antivirus program
- Validated my QDF file
- Deactivated all three of my BoA accounts in Quicken - (2) Credit Cards and (1) Checking account
- Deleted the "Financial Institution" and "Account Number" entries from the credit card accounts, but can't delete the "Financial Institution" from the checking account. I delete it, but it returns on its own. Odd.
- Started a completely new Quicken file with no accounts in it
- I downloaded and installed the patch provided by

In each case my problem remains the same. I never get an error screen. In Quicken, I chose Tools > Add Account, and then I enter 'Bank of Amer' to get this screen:

I then click 'next' and this screen appears:

I then click 'Continue' and a VERY quick view of a spinning 'activity icon' appears - where I'm pretty sure the BoA logon screen should appear, and then the original screen appears again:

this issue should be marked as "solved" and have the relevant info posted at the start of this thread and easily accessible and identified.

The issue is not browser, it is the stupid Quicken authorization window that pops up when you log into BofA online, the one that says you have 10 minutes to complete. Instead of logging in to Quicken, DENY access at that Popup window, it then asks you to confirm, go ahead and do so. Then, go to Quicken program and reconnect accounts, it worked flawlessly.

Props to the handful of folks who posted this info, as far back as 2/27. Wish I would have seen it back then.

This forum is odd, because there are solutions presented, and then the very next post is just reiterating the problem…

@mevans
I agree that marking a solution is a good idea. However, I am posting because the solutions presented so far have not solved my issue with BoA I'm grateful for those whose issues have been solved; mine has not.
