Some Mac apps require a round - misstep through Safari to authorize activity using a web - based login . For instance , a late update to Quicken for macOS supports a more secure login method offered by Citi for banking and credit entry board . Quicken prompts you to okay the new connection and then open a window in your internet browser .

For whatever reason in my case , Safari resist to oblige : it get to the window and let me enter , but it did n’t let whatever activity Citi wanted to perform . Only a part loaded page appear .

After try some troubleshooting , I realize the easiest course of instruction of legal action was to switch browsers . Quicken lack an option – like many apps – to take a best-loved web browser . Instead , it trust on the nonpayment setting in macOS .
