It appears the bank regulators have struck. http://faq.quickensoftware.ca/detail.php?buid=QK&qbid=QK1054 indicates that Online Banking Booster (the Intuit name for DirectConnect in Canada) was discontinued for all Canadian banks at the end of October 2008. The banks have apparently all added additional security questions at login that Quicken can't handle, so Intuit just bailed. In the US, Intuit has pushed the use of an additional token (CLIENTUID) as suitable for satisfying regulator's insistence on multifactor authentication. It remains to be seen how well that rolls out.
