Have you tried AncestralQuest?

I am unable to link ancestry and family search today. I did it yesterday but today all I get this an error message about an unauthorized account.
It’s doing it for my husband and myself. What s wrong?

I tend to see that message when I try to resume a browser session rather than logging in again. You may be trying to sync while logged out of family search.
Have you searched the Help Center? Try doing a Google search and adding "site:churchofjesuschrist.org/help" to the search criteria.

No; that isn't it. I am at home now and even when to attempt to 'resync' from family search and login to ancestry to 'sync the accounts, I get the same error message. Something is wrong.

my original post as an attachment of waht it looks like. This message is ON THE LDS SIDE; not the ancestry side.

I didn't say it wasn't. I think you're logged out on the back end, even if the browser shows you are still logged in.

Close the browser, log back into FamilySearch and try again.
