- Sign in as a different user
Click the
Sign in as a different User link to sign in as a different user. Before you can sign in as a different user, you must first unlink your data file from the Quicken ID that you are currently using. When you "unlink" a data file from a Quicken ID, your data is no longer synced between your desktop data file and the mobile devices that use the same Quicken ID. Unlinking does not delete your Quicken ID, nor does it delete any of your data stored in the Quicken Cloud.

- You want to use your Quicken ID with a different data file.
