Invalid ID error
I recently posted another issue about being unable to connect to Chase bank. Whenever I typed ofxclient into my command prompt, it would just tell me authentication failed. That problem was fixed (thanks to some help from you guys) by simply typing ofxclient --ofx-version 103. However, I was immediately met with another issue; when I type my username and password and hit enter, it gives me authentication failed: INVALID ID/PASSWORD even though I can log in to my chase account just fine with the same credentials.
I found this (https://github.com/captin411/ofxclient/issues/15) article, but am not really sure if it will solve my problem; plus I am not even sure how to do what the people in the thread are talking about.
I thought it might be an issue with the command prompt version of ofxclient, so I pip installed ofxclient for python 3 and tested the example from the front page in jupyter notebook (id = '10898', org = 'B1', url = 'https://ofx.chase.com'). The error I got was ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ofxclient', even though I had just installed it.
My next thought was to try the python method but from the command prompt instead of jupyter notebook.
C:\Users\my_username>python
Python 3.7.2 (tags/v3.7.2:9a3ffc0492, Dec 23 2018, 22:20:52) [MSC v.1916 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>from ofxclient import Institution
>>>inst = Institution(id='10898',org='B1',url='https://ofx.chase.com',username='my_username',password='my_password')
>>>accounts=inst.accounts()
>>>for a in accounts:
... download=a.download(days=5)
... print(download.read())
... statement = a.statement(days=5)
... print(statement.balance)
...
>>>
As you can see, it seems to be able to tell that the module is installed, and it didn't give me any username/password error, but it doesn't print anything. I am extremely frustrated with this because I know that when I get it to work, ofxclient will be extremely powerful. Any and all help would be very much appreciated.
You'll need to do the following to use this with Chase:
- Generate a uuid (either with
openssl rand -hex 16or online at https://www.uuidgenerator.net/ - Run this once:
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
from ofxclient import Institution
client_args = dict(ofx_version='103',
id='<YOUR UUID>')
inst = Institution(id='10898',
org='B1',
url='https://ofx.chase.com',
username='my_username',
password='my_password'
client_args=client_args)
accounts = inst.accounts()
for account in accounts:
print(account.description, account.number_masked())
- You'll probably see something like this in the output:
<OFX><SIGNONMSGSRSV1><SONRS><STATUS><CODE>15510<SEVERITY>ERROR<MESSAGE>Please verify your identity within the next 7 days. Using your d

- Then sign into your Chase account and go to your secure messages, and click the link in that message.
- Then run the above code again! Just be sure to keep using the same uuid.

So this is farther than I have gotten before, but it still gives me an error about incorrect username and password.

I hadn't set up a uuid so that seems to have helped, but still no dice on accessing the account.
