Scotia bank password is too long?

Hi there, 


Connecting your Scotiabank account to QuickBooks Online means that you'll save tons of time and effort with your business bookkeeping. You'll feel confident knowing that your QuickBooks account is up-to-date with all your real-life transactions. I'd be happy to explain what to do if your password is too long for QBO to accept. 

 

If you're entering the password and QBO prompts you that it's too long, you may have reached the digit limits in QBO. Typically, passwords up to 8-12 characters can be acceptable, however this may depend on the financial institution. 

 

If the password is too long, you'll have to update this on your online banking website. Once you've shortened the password, try updating it in QBO. To update it, click the Banking tab, then select the small pencil icon next to your account. Then, click Edit sign in info. From here, enter your new shortened password and attempt to connect.

If you're still having issues with that after following these steps, please touch base with our tech support team directly. It's important that our agents can take a closer look at what may be happening here. 

Take care.
