Quick fixes

- 2Complete any two-factor prompt your bank shows during the Plaid flow.
- 3If you recently changed your bank password, re-link the account.
- 4Update to the latest version of Cove and try again.
A connection that worked then stopped
Banks periodically require you to re-authenticate. When Cove shows an “action required” badge on an account, tap it and sign in again to restore the link.
