Learn when and how to reset your account connections in Quicken Simplifi

Written by Natalie

Overview

Resetting an account connection disconnects your accounts from your bank and allows you to reconnect them to Quicken Simplifi. This can help resolve certain account connection issues.

Only reset your account connections when instructed to do so in a help article or by a support agent. Before resetting, review the troubleshooting resources below to see if another solution is available.


Before Resetting Your Account Connections

Before resetting your connections, check whether your bank has a known issue or whether another troubleshooting step may resolve the problem:


Resetting Account Connections

  1. Click the Settings (gear) icon in the upper-right corner.

  2. Select Accounts.

  3. Locate the financial institution with the connection issue and click the three-dot menu next to it.

  4. Select Reset connection.

  5. Click Reset to confirm.

Your accounts will now be disconnected from the financial institution.

Note: If you choose not to reconnect your accounts, they'll remain disconnected, and you'll need to update them manually.

Reconnect Your Accounts

After resetting your connections, follow these steps to reconnect your accounts:

  1. Enter the User ID and Password you use to sign in to your financial institution, then click Connect.

  • If your financial institution uses an OAuth connection, click Continue and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the authorization process.

2. When your accounts appear, match each online account to its corresponding account in Quicken Simplifi.

3. Click Add when you're finished.


Frequently Asked Questions

Will I Lose My Data During This Process?

No. Resetting your account connections only affects the connection between Quicken Simplifi and your financial institution. Your transaction history, categories, and all other manually entered data remain unchanged, so you can troubleshoot connection issues without losing your financial records.

Will confirming recurring items after resetting my account connection create duplicate Bills?

During a connection reset, this window confirms recurring items that already exist in Simplifi. Leaving them checked will not create duplicates. Unchecking an item will remove its existing recurring series, which you will need to set up again manually.
