2-factor Authentication for Moneydance+
With banking accounts that require 2-factor (all of mine) Moneydance+ does not work. During the initial setup, I get the 2-factor auth window, and all it appears to work, showing the account balance. However, when I go to Online--> Setup Moneydance+ --> Accounts, the accounts show up with no name. The I attempt to manually either re-connect or disconnect that account using the "connected" radio button, it errors out with the following error. Also, I do not get prompted for a 2-factor password, as I should.

The way MFA works with Moneydance+ is that it prompts you on the initial setup for the authentication but for ongoing use it require the institution to support trusted devices.
The reason is that the aggregator is not doing on demand logins to retrieve the transactional data, they do scheduled logins then hold the data for your later retrieval.

My laptop is a trusted device for these same accounts, so I avoid the 2-factor login. How do I do that via Moneydance+? Is this something it should be doing automatically.
Is there a way to delete the existing accounts under Moneydance+. It will not allow me to do it.
