If you are referring to the file I store, it is the response from the OFX server and doesn't contain credentials.  If you are referring to the request, I'm using the keyring approach referred to by Sherlock. Steve On Fri, 2023-03-03 at 09:43 -0600, Tom Browder wrote: > On Fri, Mar 3, 2023 at

To me it's very different.  You're not giving a user name and a password to AQBanking. I started using Plaid, then got really spooked by the fact that they do have access to your account as if they were you. Removed my account and canceled my keys. There are no current alternatives at the

I read that disclaimer. It says to keep the token secure and yes, the bearer of that token gets access. As they said: "The access token generated by using this tool is sensitive material as it grants access to your accounts. It should be handled with care and protected from unauthorized access.
