Solution 1: Check for connectivity and

set as the default browser. However, you should also see if any alternative
websites load well.

2. Check whether you are using a browser other than Internet Explorer as your
primary browser.
3. Ensure you can reach your bank's sign-in page and other secure sites outside of
QuickBooks Desktop.
Note: Consult a computer or IT professional if you have trouble logging into a secure
website using a method other than QuickBooks.
