Tried to activate quicken for Wells Fargo - no luck! After a long wander through help desks etc. it turns out my problem was - a BAD password!
Be warned!
My Wachovia password was 16 characters long, and I just reused it on Wells Fargo. I didn't know it was 16, so the 14 character Wells Fargo limit didn't ring a bell.
And the Wells Fargo web access silently ignores characters past 14, both when you log in, and when you set your password!
Quicken does not, so you get a password mismatch, which is just reported as bad userid/password when you try to activate.
No one at Wells Fargo had the password length question in their script, but a bright young lady in tech support said - why don't you change your password and see what happens - and by luck I used a shorter one! When to her surprise it worked, she then figured out what had happened, as described above.
And - my Wells Fargo credit card is now downloading as well!
