accounts, but NOT from E</em>Trade bank accounts.</p>
<p>I'm not really sure why, but when I asked E*Trade support
earlier in the year, they said the kind of connection I needed
wasn't available for bank accounts.</p>
<p>To my knowledge, Quicken is able to access the accounts using
one of the screen-scraping work arounds some of the banks allow
instead of offering real direct connect support.</p></div>Jacquitag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/7615622009-12-23T23:28:21Z2009-12-23T23:28:21ZCan't authenticate with E*trade Financial<div><p>Thanks for your reply. I'm surprised that quicken screen-scrapes
instead of insisting on a proper API. Presumably Intuit has a lot
of clout here and wouldn't want to screen scrape.</p></div>crosstalk
