Reactivating an account

Reactivating an account in Quicken Classic for Windows involves temporarily disabling (deactivating) and then restoring (reactivating) your connection to your financial institution. Deactivating stops Quicken from downloading transactions from your financial institution. Reactivating restores the connection, allowing Quicken to resume downloading transactions and synchronizing your account data.

To reactivate an account

  1. Go to the Tools menu and select Account List.

  2. Select Edit next to the account with issues.

  3. In the Account Details screen, select the Online Services tab.

  4. Select Deactivate.

  5. Select Yes when asked, “Would you like to deactivate this service?”

  6. After deactivation, select Set Up Now.

  7. Enter your login credentials (user ID and password) in the Activate One Step Update screen.

  8. Select Connect. You may be prompted to answer additional security questions from your financial institution.

  9. When prompted, ensure the Action is set to Link to Existing Account to prevent duplicate accounts, and select Next.

Your account is now reactivated and ready for use.
