[ONGOING] 11/18/25: Vanguard - Issue connecting multiple logins
We’re currently seeing an issue with Vanguard in Quicken Simplifi where users with multiple logins (such as their own and a spouse’s) experience one login disconnecting as soon as the other is connected. Users are also seeing that both sets of login credentials are being grouped under a single Financial Institution in Settings > Accounts, so they are unsure which login is disconnected.
We have identified this as an issue with Vanguard's token authorization. The issue has been reported to Vanguard through our aggregation partner, and we are working to resolve it as quickly as possible. We currently have no ETA to provide on when a resolution can be expected, but will post updates as soon as we do.
If you're experiencing this issue in Quicken Simplifi, there is a workaround that was developed by a customer and verified by Quicken and our aggregation partner. The workaround is to set up the first account owner on the 'Vanguard' bank option, and then use either 'Vanguard Retd' or 'Vanguard Small Business' for the other set of accounts. This should allow all of your Vanguard accounts to stay connected!

Re: Gobble Up Some Gratitude!
I am grateful for many things that have nothing to do with what we discuss here. Too many to even begin to list.
This month, for example, I am grateful that the mass removed from our daughter's dog's foreleg turned out to be benign and not cancerous. He is 11 months old and deserves to have much more life than he has had so far. And our daughter deserves to experience all those years of fun and love with him. Grateful, indeed.

Re: Getting Setup for 2026 - A Just for Fun Post
I created an Excel reconciliation. It is simple, but helps me to make sure all money is accounted for. On one side I have the assets and liabilities from Simplifi. On another I have the bank balances. I also have a section for savings goals. I then reconcile all savings goals, rollover spending, and current liabilities and compare to assets. It doesn't exactly account for it in Simplifi, but I then know that that money in my checking is for rollover spending and it works itself out.
I hope this helps. Maybe someday I will be able to do everything in Simplifi. They do keep improving.
Re: Getting Setup for 2026 - A Just for Fun Post
I think the main difference between us is that I often refer to past Spending Plans to see how I did and to help reset my expectations for future Spending Plans. I know I could get similar information from Reports, but I do most of my financial work in Spending Plan so it's easier for me to compare apples to apples.
This works for me because I don't actually "do" anything with the "Left at end of month" funds — meaning I don't put it in a different account or contribute it to a SG or anything like that. Instead, I just look back over the months in Spending Plan to see how much excess (or occassional loss) I had.

Re: USAA - Missing Transactions (edited)
I had this same problem, as described in the thread linked below. But it only affected certain types of transactions in my checking account (see first post). And then it resolved itself. No clue why.
Is Simplifi not downloading any transactions from USAA for you? Or just certain kinds?
Are some of them showing up later (like mine)? Or are they never showing up?

Re: Implement Passkeys (edited)
@RobWilk Yep, apparently they made changes in the latest MacOS. They work with Google services for example. I need to set up more to see how this is going.
