Vanguard Download Error - SecurityException: Server sent redirect from a secure connection to a non-secure connection.
Probably just a temporary glitch, but I have not seen it before:

I'm sorry, an error occurred. The details of this error are below.

@buffo - I think your idea about a new thread for the method & gotchas to move to MD+ is a great idea. After digesting all of this great information, I think that is where I might land. Thanks everyone for all your comments & advice.

Since 2/3 of my assets are at Vanguard, I subscribed to MD+ yesterday. However, MD+ can't connect to Vanguard. In the Setup Your Institution list, Vanguard has a ! symbol inside a yield triangle. When I click on it, I get, Connectivity Down Try Another Institution. When I select Fidelity, it says Connectivity Not Supported... I've deactivated OFX for my Vanguard accounts in MD to ensure no conflict.
I checked Plaid status on Plaid and StatusGator, both say Plaid is up with no issues. Can anyone say what I'm doing wrong? How can I get connectivity with Vanguard in MD+

Ironically, I moved all my Vanguard accounts from MD+ to direct OFX earlier this year (Aug/Sep) due to missing transaction problems. Plaid and Vanguard had interface problems for a month or two, hopefully now resolved. I just reverted back to MD+ since Vanguard appears to have removed direct OFX support. The MD+ link seemed to work Saturday. You will need to clean-up the transactions since the transaction types (and consequently their +/- sign) don't import cleanly, and $1 pricing on sweep accounts often imports incorrectly as $100.
Vanguard limits Plaid access to certain hours, presumably to throttle server loads during trading/working hours. Try linking to Vanguard well outside of the 8am-5pm window and you may well have better luck. Even on a Saturday I had to wait until after 6pm to access my accounts.

Md+ can connect to Vanguard. I am connected, and just downloaded my account info through MD+ to moneydance.
"Connectivity Down" might apply to the connection process where you are setting up the Vanguard-Plaid-MD+ link. You pick Vanguard, provide login details, Plaid connects to Vanguard, and probably lets Vanguard provide a "do you grant permissions for Plaid to connect"? (i don't remember exactly what is conveyed)
If so, that's a "wait till that part is working again"... others have done this recently, so I suspect a temporary outage for that part, but if more people start reporting that, then that would be an issue.
Do you connect via "Setup Moneydance+" followed by "Connect More Accounts" in the Accounts area? Or do you do it some other way?
Note that Fidelity connection says specifically "Connectivity Not Supported" - that's a lot different - and indeed Fidelity and Plaid do not work together.
Hope that helps.

@mrdooba, @dtd - I'm trying to connect my Vanguard accounts in MD+. I am selecting Online > Set up Moneydance+. This opens a browser window to select my institutions. I type "van" in the search bar and Vanguard shows, but with ! inside a yield triangle. Clicking on Vanguard results in the Connectivity Down message. I've tried several times throughout Sun and Mon, no luck.
As near as I can tell, Vanguard is the only institution with the ! symbol. What else can I try? Ive attached a screenshot of what I'm seeing.

AS of today Jan 14h 2025 still can not conenct and download.
I tried to Set Up New Online Banking and
Then Connect to OFX Service like I did when it wroked
Then select Vanguard fromthe list
After it retreives the financial institution profile I select the account I am using
After clicking next I get the window to enter my password and do that
Which get me the error windows
"There was an error communicating with your financial institution. The details of this error are below.
From there it stalls and will not let me continue through the next part...
Bank Name:Vanguard
I'm sorry, an error occurred. The details of this error are below.

@roy - as I understand it, Vanguard no longer supports OFX for MD. Hence, users migrating to MD+. However, not going smoothly for me.
128 Posted by buffo on 14 Jan, 2025 05:54 PM
FYI: I just setup Vanguard to use my MD+ subscription just now without any trouble. I already had been using it with a another separate test data file. I will be starting a new discussion on what I had to do to get things working from OFX to MD+.

@sca957,
That's the same screen I was getting last week. I eventually got through Saturday evening. Keep trying.

Perhaps a glimmer of hope. This was posted on the Fund Manager forum today, by someone who opened a support ticket with Vanguard.
"After further investigation from the Product Team, they found that over the holiday, there was a change to security because of fraudulent activity which caused our systems to block 3rd party software and applications that previously worked. The business has decided to make additional changes and the Vanguard systems will be updated to allow clients to download their transaction history through applications like Fund Manager and Money Dance.
It may take a few business days for our systems to update, but it sounds like you should now be able to continue using Beiley Software/Fund Manager moving forward. "

Thank goodness for the glimmer of hope!

As a followup, transaction retrieve on Fund Manager has magically started working again. Might be a good time to try again from Money Dance (I'm not a MD user).

Well, still not working for me at 11:21am pacific on 1/14/25. Best
