  3. Reasons You’ll encounter this error while downloading bank transactions or executing any banking task on your QBDT. The main reasons why your QB loses the connection to the bank servers are mentioned below in detail- • The banking account credentials you entered in QB are incorrect, leading to account authentication failure. • QuickBooks cannot process the bank file because it lies in an unreadable format for the software. • QB’s connection to the bank servers lapsed due to temporary files stored on your web browser.

  4. Solutions QuickBooks faces problems executing any bank-related task after this error develops and blocks the connection to the bank. The simple methods to get rid of this banking error on your QB are discussed below- Solution 1- Ensure the account info you enter in QB is accurate QuickBooks can face trouble accessing your banking data if the bank servers fail to authorize your login due to incorrect account credentials. It is possible that you changed the account password outside of QB, but the software is still trying to sign in with the old account credentials. This causes issues on the bank server’s end when they fail to verify the account username or password. You’ll have to reset the bank account password and enter it again on your QB, as shown below-

  5. Launch a web browser on your system and visit your bank’s official website. • Enter the account details you used in QBDT and try to sign in to your bank account. • If the login is successful, the problem might lie in your QB bank file. • In case an error develops, click the Reset Password option and use the registered contact number to obtain a new password. • Sign in to your bank account and download the bank file in .qbo. • Try running this bank file on your QBDT. • If the error develops and breaks your bank connection again, try the next solution.

  6. Solution 2- Delete unnecessary files from your web browser • The temporary files like Cookies, cache, and other junk can affect the connection to the servers when you browse the internet. QB’s connection to the bank server might get interrupted due to these files, and we recommend that you remove them to prevent the problems. Use these steps- • Launch the web browser and access its Browsing history. • Mark the checkboxes for Cache, cookies, and all the other temporary files. • Remove your browsing history along with all of the junk files and relaunch QB.

  7. Conclusion This brings us to the end of our blog describing why QuickBooks Error 179 emerges and blocks the banking tasks. The techniques you need to eliminate the issue are given in the blog, and we hope you apply them to work on your banking data without any issues.
