Freedom Mortgage (Freedom Wholesale Mortgage) 103 error (edited)

Dick_Davis

The institution of Freedom Mortgage (freedommortgage.com) is found in the list of institutions for Add Account. It is displayed and can be selected. When selected, the “Quicken Simplifi uses Finicity, a Mastercard company, to link your accounts” is displayed with the option of “Next” to continue. The Freedom Mortgage Wholesale Division logo is displayed with the option to enter the Email Address and Password. Once these are entered, then the option to “submit” is displayed. Then the status will be “Validating identity…” and “Still working…” will be shown. After a few minutes, the error message screen appears and the ability to link the account is terminated. When searching for Freedom Mortgage, the searches and screens are not consistently working. Please test the various issues with this.

So, until this is resolved, then the only work around is to enter the account manually as well as treat all the transactions downloaded and associate with the account in a manual manner.

Hello @Dick_Davis,

Thanks for reaching out! Typically, users will receive error code 103 when an invalid username and password have been entered for the bank they are trying to connect with. I would try verifying the following steps to see if you can resolve the error this way:

• Verify the bank selected is the correct instance – You may see several different instances of your bank that you can add in the Add Account screen. Check to see if you’re using the correct one.
• Verify your login information is correct – Type your password/PIN into a text application to ensure you don’t have any typographical errors. Then, copy and paste your login information into Quicken Simplifi to ensure accuracy.
• Verify your login at the bank’s website – Try to sign in to your bank’s website using the same login credentials to ensure you've not locked yourself out of the account and the credentials are still valid.
• Check for an app-specific password – Some banks require users to use a specific app password when connecting to a third party. Check with your bank to see if you need to use an app-specific password.
• Update your credentials – Try temporarily updating your password on your bank's website and then try again to connect to Quicken Simplifi. We recommend NOT using the following special characters: & < > / \.

Let us know how this goes!

I have provided the results of the areas recommended as the results long with screen shots.

Verify the bank selected is the correct instance –

The only instance of the account is “freedommortgage.com” for the address taken from the selection in the account scree, I get the attached screen. (Image Screen from freedommortgage.com (Account Screen Simplifi))

The url that I use to login is https://mylogin.freedommortgage.com/ and this then shows where the email address (login ID) and password can be entered. (image Screenshot 2025-06-09 222941) Once entered, the SMS Authentication is presented. (Image Screenshot 2025-06-09 223049) When the code has been received and entered, then the screen is presented. (image Screenshot 2025-06-09 223312)

Select View Account Details and the screen is presented. (Image Screenshot 2025-06-09 223642)

Verify your login information is correct –

I login with the same email and password that I enter when trying to add the account in Simplifi.

I do the past from NORD PASS in to the Simplifi Login area.

Verify your login at the bank’s website –

This where the difference is I get the https://mylogin.freedommortgage.com/ , not the same URL as with Simplifi. So that is the difference that I see right off.

I am not locked out of the account

The credentials are valid.

Check for an app-specific password –

This is not the case with this website for Freedom Mortgage. The authentication is done by SMS Authentication.

Update your credentials –

Updated the password from the bank’s website, tried to long again and get the same message.

Did not use the characters of “&<>\/” in the new password. Used MMM-DD-YYYY#

Hello @Dick_Davis,

Thanks for the requested information, and for completing those troubleshooting steps! I noticed you mentioned getting your password from a third party password manager. If you type out the password instead do you get the same error when trying to connect again? If that still doesn't work, please provide the following information:

1. Have there been recent changes in your banking website? If there are changes, what are those?
2. What type of accounts are you adding (banking, investment, debt, etc.)?
3. Document the FORMAT of your password (NOT the actual password!). For example, the password of "Quicken123$" would be "Xxxxxxx###$." Document the specific special character(s) in the password (AGAIN, NOT your actual password!).

We will also need logs to be sent to us!

1. Log into the Quicken Simplifi Web App.
2. Select Profile from the left-hand navigation bar.
3. With the Profile menu open, hold down the Option key for Mac or the Alt key for Windows, and then click Send Feedback.
4. Leave all boxes checked, add a brief description of the issue, and then click Send.

I'm having the same exact issue. These steps are not helping either.

Hello @SO1409,

Thanks for letting us know. If you can provide the same information, this will help us with the investigation of this issue. First, try the steps below:

https://community.simplifimoney.com/discussion/comment/53631#Comment_53631

And then if these steps do not work, please provide the following information:

1. Have there been recent changes in your banking website? If there are changes, what are those?
2. What type of accounts are you adding (banking, investment, debt, etc.)?
3. Document the FORMAT of your password (NOT the actual password!). For example, the password of "Quicken123$" would be "Xxxxxxx###$." Document the specific special character(s) in the password (AGAIN, NOT your actual password!).
4. A screenshot of the Accounts Summary page from the bank's website that lists all accounts and balances (feel free to redact any personal info) and has a wide enough scope to show the page URL (this must be taken from a web browser and not a mobile browser).

Evening, Jon

1. Have there been recent changes in your banking website? If there are changes, what are those?

RESPONSE: I have not seen any recent change to the banking website. Thus, I can’t provide that information if there were changes.

1. What type of accounts are you adding (banking, investment, debt, etc.)?

RESPONSE: I am trying to add a mortgage account with Freedom Mortgage.

1. Document the FORMAT of your password (NOT the actual password!). For example, the password of "Quicken123$" would be "Xxxxxxx###$." Document the specific special character(s) in the password (AGAIN, NOT your actual password!).

RESPONSE: The format for the password is”Xxx-##-#####” and this is the format that has been used with other programs such as Monarch Money and Empower. Neither of these programs had any issues with accessing and downloading the data from Freedom Mortgage.

1. A screenshot of the Accounts Summary page from the bank's website that lists all accounts and balances (feel free to redact any personal info) and has a wide enough scope to show the page URL (this must be taken from a web browser and not a mobile browser).

RESPONSE: there are two screen shots, one from Edge and one from Chrome as you might see a difference.
