Fidelity NetBenefits Login Error
I am getting an error when trying to log into my Fidelity NetBenefits account through Moneydance. This started about a week ago +/- a few days. Error message that I get is below. I don't have any issues logging into any of my normal Fidelity Accounts, which use the exact same username and password. I have even tried to change the password and that did not help. Please advise how to proceed!
Error Message: "The given customer ID or PIN is not valid. For more information, contact your financial institution. Additional information from the server: Error occurred logging in"

I am also experiencing this exact problem. NetBenefits has a problem, but regular Fidelity accounts are fine.

Same error and symptoms here that Mark reports. Please investigate, inifitekind.

You don't mention what version of MD or what OS any of you are using. There were some updates recently to specifically handle issues with Fidelity changing things. These are fixed in the preview version.

They might make a difference to you.

That is promising. Thanks.
I'm using 2017.7.1 (1671) on Linux. Looks like there is one newer build with some authorization changes that might fix the problem. I'll try that next!

Seems like devs are aware. Seems like Fidelity is somewhat reluctantly aware. I think we are in wait and see mode to see if a solution is offered from MD or Fidelity.

FYI--
I just tried to logon to Fidelity NetBenefits where I have several accounts. It is working for me, no problems. Transactions download into my register. Using MacOS.

Hmmm. No such luck on my end. I initiated a “new connection” and still no love.

Hi All,
We have had a number of customers report this issue with the Fidelity Netbenefits connection. I've checked our connection information in Moneydance and it does appear up to date.
From looking online, it would seem Moneydance is not the only personal finance software encountering this issue with Fidelity Netbenefits. Customers have reported this to Fidelity and have been informed that they are aware of this situation and currently working on a fix. Although a large number of people have been told that there is no issues on the bank's end, this appears to not be the case. I'll continue to monitor the situation and will update Moneydance's connection information for Fidelity Netbenefits if required.
Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience, I'll update you as soon as there is further information.

Running 2017.7.1 (1671) MacOS and I was able to download successfully just now after having this same problem earlier this week.

yes. I as well was able to download transactions as before. However, my other programs that are affected are getting the error message that was being thrown before outright stopping downloads a few days ago. So perhaps progress is being made by Fidelity NetBenefits. But all is not well just yet. The last time I was seeing this error message (from another financial program, not MD), I was getting highly intermittent success (more failure than success) in getting downloads to work.
At a minimum, it looks like MAYBE, MD downloading via OFX is working. I will know more in 4-5 days, when I will have numerous dividend transactions that will be posted. We'll see if downloading capability is indeed restored at that time.

Things still seem to be working for me this morning.
