> I tried Plaid at some point > Pre-requisite being OFX availability
Ah, sorry - I skimmed and thought it was OFX and Selenium. Yeah, thanks for the feedback. I agree with the security and proprietary-ness points, but decided the convenience was worth the trade-off for me. I actually started out with OFX (it's still there in my scripts), and used it for a ~year. But it got to a point where the majority of my accounts didn't have, or had broken OFX endpoints - and for the broken ones, the bank IT support to didn't care. I had to pretend to be a Quicken customer to get them to pay attention. (slight aside here) I wish OFX had some real commitment behind it - maybe compliance was required by law, and they modernised it to have OAuth semantics (so that you're not forced into single-factor auth); but alas it doesn't look like anyone is going to make it happen - there's just no incentive for banks to expose our data they hold in custody. At some point, I gave in, and I'm happy with the reliability of Plaid, and they cover all the institutions I deal with. > work with services that require two factor authentication? The way it works is that you authenticate with the bank, with single or two-factor auth - and Plaid then stores some sort of a session token. (Either a cookie, or using the bank's API if one exists.) If that token expires, you'll need to re-authenticate, in my experience I need to do that ~ 6 months.
