Invalid ID error

[mattcarlin]

I recently posted another issue about being unable to connect to Chase bank. Whenever I typed ofxclient into my command prompt, it would just tell me authentication failed. That problem was fixed (thanks to some help from you guys) by simply typing ofxclient --ofx-version 103. However, I was immediately met with another issue; when I type my username and password and hit enter, it gives me authentication failed: INVALID ID/PASSWORD even though I can log in to my chase account just fine with the same credentials.

I found this (https://github.com/captin411/ofxclient/issues/15) article, but am not really sure if it will solve my problem; plus I am not even sure how to do what the people in the thread are talking about.

I thought it might be an issue with the command prompt version of ofxclient, so I pip installed ofxclient for python 3 and tested the example from the front page in jupyter notebook (id = '10898', org = 'B1', url = 'https://ofx.chase.com'). The error I got was ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ofxclient', even though I had just installed it.

My next thought was to try the python method but from the command prompt instead of jupyter notebook.

C:\Users\my_username>python
Python 3.7.2 (tags/v3.7.2:9a3ffc0492, Dec 23 2018, 22:20:52) [MSC v.1916 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>from ofxclient import Institution
>>>inst = Institution(id='10898',org='B1',url='https://ofx.chase.com',username='my_username',password='my_password')
>>>accounts=inst.accounts()
>>>for a in accounts:
    ...     download=a.download(days=5)
    ...     print(download.read())
    ...     statement = a.statement(days=5)
    ...     print(statement.balance)
    ...
>>>

As you can see, it seems to be able to tell that the module is installed, and it didn't give me any username/password error, but it doesn't print anything. I am extremely frustrated with this because I know that when I get it to work, ofxclient will be extremely powerful. Any and all help would be very much appreciated.

You'll need to do the following to use this with Chase:

1. Generate a uuid (either with openssl rand -hex 16 or online at https://www.uuidgenerator.net/
2. Run this once:

   
   import logging
   logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

from ofxclient import Institution

client_args = dict(ofx_version='103', id='')

inst = Institution(id='10898', org='B1', url='https://ofx.chase.com', username='my_username', password='my_password' client_args=client_args)

accounts = inst.accounts() for account in accounts: print(account.description, account.number_masked())

3. You'll probably see something like this in the output:
```xml
<OFX><SIGNONMSGSRSV1><SONRS><STATUS><CODE>15510<SEVERITY>ERROR<MESSAGE>Please verify your identity within the next 7 days. Using your d

4. Then sign into your Chase account and go to your secure messages, and click the link in that message.
5. Then run the above code again! Just be sure to keep using the same uuid.

So this is farther than I have gotten before, but it still gives me an error about incorrect username and password.

I hadn't set up a uuid so that seems to have helped, but still no dice on accessing the account.
