Makes sense. That's how AqBanking handles passwords AFAIR.

I am also using the HBCI plugin and don't see this issue. Since the interface 
between AqBanking and KMyMoney does not change depending on the interface 
between AqBanking and the online banking service I doubt that this is a 
KMyMoney issue (but would not be surprised if it is at the same time).

Except that one issue I was writing about above. The AqBanking ML would be the 
correct sink for such requests, but the AqBanking developer is subscribed to 
our list as well, so he hopefully reads this discussion.

One click on the Chase bookmark. One more and Firefox logs in for me. 
Then it's just one on "See activity" and one on "Download". Firefox 
knows where to put the file and does so silently.


When I do "Update" within KMM I have to enter my master pasword anyway.

I'm on Kubuntu. Maybe it's harder on Windoze.

Hello,

I have a similar question: is it possible to enable aqbanking on the 
Windows version of KMyMoney?  I have the same issue with Chase, and in 
the absence of a fix for libofx and a new KMM build I'm unable to update 
automatically.  I've been told that by them too that I need to do an 
automatic download correctly by sometime early this year (March I think) 
or else I assume something bad happens.

Since the flap with Chase credit cards changing their OFX details, 
I've been using aqbanking instead of libofx, and there are a number of 
differences.


First, is there any way to make aqbanking remember the password? It 
prompts every time, and I don't see any boxes or settings. Also, is 
there any way to make it FORGET the password?  I just mistyped a 
password, but if I try to update the account again, it uses the wrong 
password I just typed.


Second, is there any way to make it actually put the memo from the 
downloaded transaction into the memo of the KMM transaction?


If these are actually issues with aqbanking and not with KMM's use of 
it, where should I bring them up?  Would it be the aqbanking mailing 
list?


Thanks for any hints

Jack

An okay workaround that I use is to just log in to the Chase site with 
Firefox and download the ofx file and then import it into KMM. It's a 
few more mouse clicks but no big deal.

Thanks!  Yeah, I do that too.  I'd really like to get it working 
automatically again soon, though. :)

It's not simply a few more mouse clicks.  It's logging in to the chase  
site and then selecting the download and specifying the dates, and then  
downloading the file, and then importing it in KMM.  Updating an  
account is one click once that account is open in ledger view.  I do  
admit that for me, it reall is more an issue of principle than the  
actual effort involved.  I'm coming closer and closer to just closing  
all my Chase credit cards (mine and my wife's) and the only thing  
slowing me down is figuring the competition isn't likely to actually be  
any more friendly to non-proprietary software (i.e., KMM instead of  
Quicken).
