Yes, the service that provided that information, ofxhome.com <http://ofxhome.com/>, shut down a couple of years ago. It’s archived on the Wayback Machine so you may be able to look up the parameters there and enter them manually, but you probably want to check with your bank to make sure they still support OFX Direct Connect with plain-text authentication. Very few do any more.
