(And Plaid noted that they vastly prefer to oauth to banks, and do with many other banks, but that Venmo won’t accept oauth and demands credentials.)

No that’s not correct. Venmo is not forcing password auth, it’s banks not implementing the OAuth flow that causes this. I just went through with OAuth in Venmo with my bank (Capital One). They also offer traditional (deposit 50 cents and validate the amount) work flow too, they’re not forcing the Plaid model at all.

Erm, I don’t think we’re describing the same sides of the flow, but I trust you’re right anyways. Apologies for my confusion.
