UBS Simplified Log-in Not Working
On October 18, UBS changed their login to require you to use your web login credentials rather than the account and password credentials. I can log into their website using the web login credentials, but MD gives an error from the server that account/password are mismatched. This now happens with both the original credentials and the simplified credentials. UBS says they didn't change from Direct Connect to Web Connect, but just changed the credentials. Any idea how to restore downloading capability from UBS? Thanks.

I am having the same issue.

Hi,
Could you both try recreating your UBS connections using the New Connection button and see if that fixes the issue that you're seeing? By selecting New Connection, Moneydance will download the updated certificates from UBS. You will need to disable your current connection to your bank and then recreate it using the New Connection button on the Online Banking Setup screen. To do so, you can follow these steps:
Make sure you pick new connection, even though your bank is still one of the connection choices after you disable it. Choosing your bank from the list of available banks will force Moneydance to download the updated information, which should then allow you to connect.
Please let me know if you continue to have connection problems after recreating your connection.
Hope this helps!

I followed those steps and it still does not work unfortunately.

You may need to reset the passwords in your file using the Online->"Forget Online Passwords" menu option. This will remove all passwords saved in your file. Once you've done that, try connecting again, using your website username and password to log in.

I tried this and still the same result. However, I noticed an interesting thing. After disabling the accounts and selecting them as “new connections” I waited until the new connection had time to download. Once I entered the new credentials, it connected with UBS and gave me a choice of my 3 accounts. After selecting the proper account and adding login credentials for all 3 accounts, I tried downloading and still the same result. It seems like it must have connected earlier in order for UBS to supply my 3 account choices.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

If you try connecting in a completely new Moneydance file, are you able to connect? You can create a new file using the File->New menu option.

I created a new ‘test’ Moneydance file and added one UBS account. It worked and downloaded that account info.
So, I have years of info in my existing Moneydance file. I’m hoping the next steps aren’t going to be painful!
Thanks for your help.

One more detail. It only downloaded info from 2014 to now. All the balances and positions are incorrect.

OK, it looks like some old connection information might be hanging around in your file and causing this problem. Can you try completely resetting your connection in your original file to see if that fixes it? To do this, you'll need to force clear the current connection information for your bank in Moneydance. I'm sending a file called remove_one_service_2015.py that will help do that. Before proceeding, please back up your Moneydance data set, just in case something goes wrong. You can create a backup using the File->"Export Backup" menu option.
To use the file, first save it to your computer and then follow these steps:
Hopefully, that will work. If it doesn't, let me know and we'll continue troubleshooting.

I'm not sure how this turned out for the other two, but for me the problem still remains unaltered. I followed all the steps earlier in this thread EXCEPT I did not "Forget Online Passwords" (I have many other accounts) and jumped straight to the Python script. In my last try I set up a new account, was able to see all my UBS account numbers, selected one, and exited the setup process normally. Still, when I seek to update the account information I get back the error 2000: "The information you entered does not match our records." This is really strange since it seems to work during the setup process just fine. What to do next?

I went through the same steps as conrodi took with the same result. I downloaded fresh UBS information for every UBS account and I could match the different account numbers from UBS to my MD accounts. After successful connection, I’m not able to download the account updates due to the error 2000. Any ideas?

I've attached a slightly modified version of the remove_one_service python script. can you try this one and see if it works for you?

Ian--SUCCESS!!! Not sure what the script did differently, but this time MD asked for my password twice for each account: once when setting it up and again the first time downloading transactions for that account. Previously it did NOT ask the second time. Thanks for your help!!! Many, many thanks.

Ian - Success also! Many thanks. All my UBS accounts just completed downloading. Whatever you tweaked in the second file, did the trick. Thanks again.

Unfortunately this is not working for me. I get the below error.

aeweihl, it looks like you're running an older version of Moneydance. That file is for Moneydance 2015. For older versions, you'll need to reset all of your passwords using the Online->"Forget Online passwords" menu option. That should allow you to connect again.
