pretty sure this is false, all my accounts are 2FA, and connected to a few different account aggregators (mint, personalcapital, etc) which i am prettty sure all use Plaid. Handles it fine.
- maccam94 7y agoMint does not use Plaid, they have an in-house integrations system.
- avip 7y agoIn house by intuit
- thamer 7y agoMy Wells Fargo account uses 2FA, and recently (November 2019) I was unable to connect a service to it through Plaid, getting an error that said my account type was not supported – or something along those lines. They may have fixed it by now, I haven't tried more recently.
- dude3 7y agoYou can remove 2FA, login with Plaid, and re add it. This worked for me.
- thamer 7y agoI'm already uneasy with the way Plaid works, I'm not also going to disable 2FA on my account to accommodate the broken way they access accounts (pretending to be a browser instead of using APIs). There are good, secure ways to grant access to resources, and giving your password to Plaid for them to log in to your account with reduced security is definitely not one of them and certainly not an attractive proposition.
- nikolay 7y agoWorst of all, it's a full access, not a scope-restricted one. Imagine somebody hacking Plaid and you disabling 2FA, because otherwise you can't use some of the fancy new services you saw on Product Hunt.
- fulldecent2 7y agoWorst of all, is their privacy policy. > We retain information we collect about you for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, unless a longer retention period is required OR PERMITTED under applicable law. It is not necessary to "hack" Plaid.
- angry_octet 7y agoYeah, it's the users who got hacked when they signed up.
- choopchik 7y agoIt's all in the way Plaid connects to the banks - they do not systematically support MFA in their bank connectors; hence the issues you are seeing.
- nikolay 7y agoThis works only if you want to do an account verification. If you have to continuously pull in transactions, it will fail, and ask you to "fix" the problem.
- dude3 7y agoI am able to continuously transfer funds after the initial setup
- nikolay 7y agoSo, you call me a liar? I have personal, my own business, and several accounts of a nonprofit I am an officer at. All have 2FA and none work. Intuit is a different story and I'm able to sync in bank transactions into it - not with Plaid-based services though!
- rntksi 7y agoI feel sorry you had to go through those replies telling you your statements were false or wrong. I think it comes from people who think that if it works for them, it must work for everyone else.
- nikolay 7y agoYeah, I thought I'm imagining things, tried again, and this is what they say about BofA: https://ibb.co/KGMhFXF https://ibb.co/KGMhFXF

- kccqzy 7y agoMint uses its own system I think. Personal Capital uses Yodlee.
