I am also trying to set this up with Chase, where I have both bank and 
credit card accounts. I've tried and failed since first using GNUCash 
last year.  Trying to understand what needs to be done.

I see in the Wizard "UserId is assigned to you by the bank after 
applying for OFX DirectConnect"

I don't recall having ever done this much less possess any documents 
from the bank.  Yet on the Chase website, it says,


> Desktop apps
> You've set up your Chase accounts so desktop versions of apps like Quicken® or Intuit QuickBooks® can access them directly. To remove this access, contact help & support at 1-877-CHASEPC (1-877-242-7372). Keep in mind: this only applies to apps you've installed on your desktop. If you'd like to link your accounts to a mobile or website app, please go to the linked apps and websites page.

This access must have been granted back in the days when I used Quicken.

but I have no idea how to find my User Id.

Where do I go from here?
