[Kmymoney-devel] New OFX insight

[Jack]

I've been trying to get ofx direct connect access to the two banks I  
use for several years, and I finally got one of them set up today,  
thanks to a fortuitous phone call with a tech person at the bank who  
actually has a brain.

For Citizen's Bank (originally in the New England area of the US, but  
now expanded to a dozen states) it's easy to download OFX files, but  
direct connect requires specifically registering, which might cost  
money depending on your particular type of account.  The user name and  
password assigned are different from the web credentials for on-line  
access.  I set this up a month ago, but using the new credentials,  
continued to get 15500 errors.  It turns out that the actual error was  
the need to change the password on first use.  Apparently Quicken (and  
perhaps some other software) recognizes the message and supports  
changing the password.  The person I spoke with managed to tell the  
system the password was changed, so now I have good access.

Question - does anyone know if libOFX allows for changing the password  
(and recognizing this condition)?  Unfortunately, I can't test it since  
my access is now ok, but I have a feeling my bank contact would assist  
with testing if necessary.  Actually - I could test changing the  
password now, just not receiving that error.

Second - if libOFX does allow changing password - what is the chance  
KMM can surface that functionality?

If not, should I check directly with the libOFX developer?  Is there  
any other place to research this issue?

Finally, does anyone know any other software which would allow changing  
the password?

Thanks for any suggestions.
