The highlighted fields are going to be used to fill in the respective environment variables in your .env file, covered in the docs. Check the .env.example file if you have already tried setting up the project.

Then if you have your containers started already run docker-compose down and docker-compose up -d to renew the environment variables.

Once the containers are back and after you've registered, click "Settings" on the top right. Once the next page loads click "Link new account" in the top right. It will open a new window where you can search for your chosen financial institution. If you're using your sandbox credentials the username and password will be user_good / pass_good

The goal here is to use this new token to authenticate accounts with. Fixes #34
