You’re going to need that update on 9/30/17. I’m at work so can’t get into it but basically they’re switching from Intuit’s servers to Quicken’s.
Unless you’ve already set up your Quicken account and this is a bug.

I'll try it again. I'm not so invested in it that I can't go back to 2006/7. It's been quite the interesting process.
I didn't convert my account right away, experienced issues as you did. I installed the 4.6.5 update (maybe pushed late yesterday?) that claims to have fixed that issue. I installed that update and no longer have the looping login request. Syncs are much faster as well.
I reinstalled this morning and got a whole new set of questions for logging into the servers. Once that was done, I have been able to go in and out of Quicken with no issues. I'm glad I wasn't the only one to see that issue!

Right, so, Quicken moved all the accounts over to their servers, away from Intuit. My understanding now is that instead of it downloading all the information to your Mac, it downloads it in the background to the cloud then to your Mac, or mobile device. I'm not sure if this is more efficient or not. Does anyone know if it downloads to the cloud at a set time or if I have to initiate it on my Mac?
I have noticed on my Wells Fargo accounts, I get an error if I start it on Mac. I have let it sit for a while, come back, tried again, and a few other different methods. Same thing, error. BUT, if I download transactions on the iOS app, it downloads fine, then if I try again on Mac it works without issue.
An update was pushed out yesterday. Maybe that resolves it. I had already downloaded yesterday earlier and I can't remember if there are updates over the weekend.
Also, is anyone on the Quicken site for support? When I did some searching on there it seemed like it was either older information or things not related to me. Should we make a thread here just to help with some basic thing about Quicken? Or did I miss something over there?

I haven't been able to get anything to download from my regular bank since Monday (it's a credit union). Also, the update broke my Scottrade account, which does not recognize a sell/buy from Compaq to HP. I see the buy but not the sell, and adding the sell did not correct the balance.
I will probably shelve it for the most part until Jan 1, as I really need my reporting to be accurate for tax time. I'm hoping there are either more patches or that 2018 is better (or both).
I was only able to talk to someone at Quicken via FB messaging. I did join the community and found them helpful, plus here.
