How do the different download methods work?

Why do I need to verify my identity for Quicken Direct Connect?
For your security we must verify your identity before enabling Quicken's Direct Connect download method. To verify your identity you must complete the verification process by entering your online User ID and Password on the verification page.
If you have more than one quicken file, multiple computers you wish to complete downloads on, or have different types of accounts with Ameriprise, e.g. Brokerage or Card, you will need to complete the verification process more than once.
How does the verification process work?
If you have not completed the verification process you will be prompted from within Quicken. Please follow the prompts and instructions from within Quicken and on the verification page. You will need your Ameriprise online User ID and Password to complete this process.
When you enter your User ID and Password on the verification page, Ameriprise will run a check to verify your identity. The check will only take a few minutes to complete.
Once verification is complete, you will be instructed to close the Ameriprise window, return to Quicken and complete your Quicken activity within 30 minutes. If you do not complete your Quicken activity within 30 minutes, you will need to repeat the verification process.
