Multi-factor authentication or “Secure Login”

What is Secure Login?

Secure Login is a security measure that is used to make it more difficult for an unauthorized person to access a computer, network or database. If one factor (such as a password) is compromised or broken, the attacker has at least one more barrier to breach (such as an email account or access to the target's mobile phone) to successfully break into the target.

How does Secure Login affect me?

When Secure Login is enabled, you will be required to enter a security code the first time you use Quicken Connected Services (for example, when updating your accounts).

You will be prompted to log in with your Quicken ID and then you will be sent a security code via email or mobile phone (if you've added a mobile phone number to your Quicken profile). You must then enter this security code in Quicken before you can proceed with your download.

Do I have to use Secure Login each time I update my accounts?

No. You will need to do this only to turn on Secure Login or when you start using Quicken on a new computer/device. After that, you will only need to complete Secure Login about every two weeks.

Can I control the email address or phone number used for Secure Login?

Yes. Your Secure Login security code will be sent to either the email address or mobile phone number associated with your Quicken ID.

How do I update my email address or mobile phone number associated with my Secure Login?

1. Go to Quicken > Preferences > Connected Services.
2. Click the Edit Account button.
3. You will be directed to the Quicken website, where you can update your details.
