How to continue using the online banking feature of GnuCash (AqBanking) with PSD2 in effect?
I'm running GnuCash 2.6.19 (with AqBanking 5.7.8.0) on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.
Ever since the European Commission's Revised Directive on Payment Services (PSD2) came into effect online banking with the above no longer works.
Apparently, there is a newer version of AqBanking (5.99.25beta) which supports Strong Customer Authentication. However, that new version is still in beta and apart from some mentions on www.aquamaniac.de/rdm/ there hardly seems to be anything written or reviewed about it. Also, it will probably take light-years until this update reaches official Ubuntu repositories :(
Now I'm aware this "question" may not (yet) be a "good" one (by the standards of StackExchange); but it's a big topic and it's kind of silly that the directive effectively "broke" my ability to feed my books and bank statements in GnuCash with data from my bank:
How to continue using the online banking feature of GnuCash (AqBanking) with PSD2 in effect?
Can anyone report that (s)he's been able to get online banking in GnuCash up and running again (after encountering hitherto unseen errors about "two-factor authentication" failing)?

With the new versions Gwenhywfar 4.99.16beta, AqBanking 5.99.32beta und Gnucash 3.7 it is working again.
I found the solution at the thread forum.ubuntuusers.de/post/9099928/
Have a look at the PPA launchpad.net/~ingo/+archive/ubuntu/gnucash/ which is compiled ready for ubuntu 18.04
Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine) will be released in ~ 10 days time from now and it looks like it's going to include the latest version of GnuCash (3.7, as of today), cf.:
packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gnucash (eoan: 1:3.7-1ubuntu1) launchpad.net/ubuntu/eoan/+package/gnucash (gnucash 1:3.7-1ubuntu1)
which is, however, contradicted by
wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Ubuntu#Ubuntu_19.10_.28.22Eoan_Ermine.22.29 ("GnuCash 3.4 is included in Ubuntu 19.10")
We shall soon see what and who's right… If 19.10 will indeed ship with the latest version of GnuCash (and AqBanking !) then that might solve the problem :-) To be confirmed…
Update:
Just installed 19.10 and can confirm it shipped with GnuCash 3.7, build 2019-09-07, and AqBanking 5.8.2-0.1 (cf. packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/gnucash and packages.ubuntu.com/eoan/libaqbanking35), which seems to be, as expected, prior to the beta mentioned above :(
