[GNC] USAA OFX Direct Connect stopped working

[Kalpesh Patel]

It might be wise to wait until after the weekend is over.

As an IT person I can tell, at least from my experience leading teams, that
disruptive and or large changes/releases tend to get scheduled over the
weekend. If they are updating then by Monday market open they end up being
auto-magically "fixed". Of course if the function is being decommissioned
then it will never work again ...

I had the same problem yesterday. I worked around it by downloading a CSV of
the transactions from the account and importing that instead.

It's possible that it's just a glitch that will get corrected in a few days.
If not we'll need someone with Quicken and Wireshark to snarf the new secret
handshake.
