YNAB is no good for people who have 20-odd current accounts, a bunch of credit cards and some investment accounts. It's also pretty much useless for anyone who has existing MS Money data that they want to preserve. It may be ok for people who start out new and who have just a handful of accounts, and no investments.

I use Ynab and I have loads of accounts. By setting up scheduled payments I never forget to do the manual transfers between my current accounts, or ensure I have enough in each of my accounts for my regular savers.

However, I don't track my investments on there, and I've never used MS money.

I am still able to use YBS money manager - it stopped working on Opera but I still have it on Firefox.

I also use the First Direct version. Its IE only, but works brilliantly most of the time. It may fail on a bank for a few days if they change the design of their web site, or add an unexpected message screen to the log on process.

I have over 20 accounts (including credit cards) with 10 organisations. I've got everything recorded in spreadsheets, and aggregation software lets me do a complete reconciliation in a couple of minutes every day.

First Direct is also just an implementation of accountunity. Unlike YBS, FD haven't messed about too much with the implementation.

couldnt find a more recent thread about it...

M&S bank in accountunity requires username, password and "memorable answer"

I have no password to enter and when trying to get my balance it wants the code from the key pass thing. Any way to log in to m&s without it? (it's mentioned here you can get balance without it)

None that I am aware of. Logging into M&S Bank is a real PITA, like a timewarp back to some long forgotten era.

You can check the balance of your current account(s) with their app, without the need for the key pass gadget. Alas, it won't show you any other accounts (RS, CC etc), and you can't do anything else really with the app, either. Quaint.
