Log in to set up your account in Quicken

When you first install or open Quicken, you must sign in using your Quicken ID. This account gives you access to all your purchased Quicken products. It also allows you to manage your subscription, activate features, and sync your data securely.

Your Quicken ID is your email address. It is separate from the login credentials you use to connect to financial institutions.

Where you'll sign in

You may be prompted to sign in from one of two places:

  • In-product screen: Quicken may open a Sign in window after installation or file creation. This screen appears inside Quicken and looks similar to the web version.

  • Web browser: You can also go to myaccount.quicken.com/login to sign in directly or create an account.

Sign in with an existing Quicken ID

If you already have a Quicken ID:

  1. Enter your Quicken ID (email address).

  2. Click Continue.

  3. Enter your password and complete any verification steps if prompted.

Once signed in, Quicken will unlock your product and allow access to all features.

Create a new Quicken ID

If you’re new to Quicken:

  1. From the sign-in screen, click Create account.

  2. Enter:

    • Your email address (this becomes your Quicken ID)

    • A mobile phone number (for verification and recovery)

    • A password

  3. Click Create account.

  4. Follow the on-screen prompts to verify your email or phone.

After creating your Quicken ID, you can sign in and begin using the product.

What happens after sign-in

Once you're signed in:

  • You can add your bank, credit card, and investment accounts.

  • Your subscription status will be confirmed.

  • If you're restoring from a backup or using a previous file, you'll be asked to link or reauthorize accounts as needed.

Tip: If you’re returning from an older version of Quicken, you may see prompts to convert or update your file. Follow the instructions carefully to preserve your data.
