Alerus/Alliance Benefit Group connection error - FDP-103 (edited)

sarahmeytin

I can’t connect to Alerus anymore. My log in info is correct on the Alwrus website, but the 2-factor authentication doesn’t seem to get through in Simplifi. I get the Care Fdp-103 error (on the Alerus website it goes to 2-factor). I tried using the fix given in the community of using the Alliance Benefit Groip link and that didn’t work.

Hello @sarahmeytin,

Thanks for reaching out! I can see that you did try using the Alliance Benefit Group instance in Quicken Simplifi to resolve this issue. Let's have you try connecting using that instance again, and if you still receive a FDP-103 error, please try the following steps to see if they work in resolving the issue:

• 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: & < > / \.

If these steps do not work, please provide the following information. Feel free to DM this to me!

• The name of the account(s), as it appears in Quicken Simplifi.
• The name of the account(s), as it appears on the bank's website.
• Have there been any recent changes made to the bank's website or its sign-in process?
• What is the exact URL you use to log in to your account on the bank's website?
• What type of account(s) are you attempting to connect in Quicken Simplifi?
• A screenshot of the Accounts Summary page from the bank's website that has a wide enough scope to show the full page URL. This is the landing page after signing in, and typically lists all accounts and balances. You will want to take this from a web browser and not a mobile browser, as well as redact any private info such as account numbers.
• The format of your password (DO NOT provide your actual password!). For example, "Quicken123$" would be coded as "Xxxxxxx###$", where a capital "X" indicates a capital letter, a lowercase "x" indicates a lowercase letter, and a "#" indicates numbers; the actual special characters used will need to be provided.
