Plaid Key Rotation

For security purposes, we rotate the client ID and secret keys on a regular basis, at least every twelve months. If a key has been rotated, its previous version is no longer valid and it is no longer possible to retrieve bank account transactions. To update your client ID and secret keys, depending on your version of Accounting and the last rotation date, you can do one of the following:

  • Rotate them manually using the Plaid dashboard
  • Upgrade Accounting to the latest version

For more information about the latest key rotation and the actions you must take to continue retrieving your bank account transactions using the Plaid bank integration, see Upgrading to Accounting Spring 2024.

For more information about rotating the keys manually, see the Plaid Help.

Note:

The rotation of Plaid secrets does not affect access tokens. Access tokens are always valid so you can use the existing ones with a new secret to retrieve your bank account transactions.
