Jean, Not exactly. There's two "wizards" at play here, the outer Online Banking Setup Assistant and the inner AQBanking setup dialog. That inner one has two tabs, Users and Accounts. The User one, when setting up an OFX DirectConnect user (and maybe for the HBCI/FinTS one, I don't know)

Oh absolutely! I'm very familiar with how to setup the OFX stuff (I use ofxclient.py since I can't get aqbanking to work and I customized it for my needs). It's definitely not an issue with the setup, it's a programming issue! Everything starts well with the GC online banking setup wizard, I
