I don't know PSD2 fully but I know that my bank rolled out support for it and as far as I gather, applications should not have to ask for my username/password via their own UI (which after testing Plaid, they do), but rather use the authentication systems from the banks to authenticate. Maybe I used it wrong though.

Your understanding is correct. It's an OAuth2-type mandate for banking services providers.

FYI, a lot of banks open banking apis are broken most of the time.

Having said that, for plaid in the UK, they do offer both an open banking integration and a scraping integration for most banks.
