MD+ setup
Hello,
I have successfully set up several Plaid connections via MD+. One I'm having trouble with is Ally.
When I go to connect an Ally IRA CD account to a local account, MD presents a list of my *investment* accounts, not my bank accounts. Thus, I cannot make the connection.
I didn't have this problem with my Ally savings account. Also, all my MD investment accounts linked O.K.
Can you advise?
Thanks!

Well, nevermind.
I used the Toolbox to clean up old connections, disconnected my existing Ally connections, then tried to reconnect.
Ally has now implemented 2FA by sending a text message to a phone number, but I've never owned a cell phone. :(
I think I'm stuck.

just a user - maybe you can login to the Ally website, and they may have alternatives in the 2FA versus a text (like maybe an email message?)

Thanks, dtd.
Ally doesn't do emails or calls to VOIP phones for 2FA. So, I registered a phone number with one of the free texting apps on my iPad and was able to get the security code from Ally.
Now - having cleaned up all my MD+ connections - I'm back to the original problem.

This comment was split into a new private discussion: MD+ setup
Just bought my first cellphone (ever!), so I'm now able to receive authorization codes via text.
I deleted my Ally connections in MD, then used the toolbox extension to clean up the Ally stragglers.
So, starting with a clean slate, I reconnected my Ally accounts...and I still have the issue described in the original post. For my Ally IRA account, MD+ only presents a list of MD investment accounts to connect them to.
Might there be some meta-data coming down from Ally that identifies the account as an 'investment' account?
