Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

When you select "Unlink account":

There is no confirmation. It can be easy to mistakenly click this instead of clicking the frequently used item above "Reconcile".

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Ideally, a confirmation dialog should pop up asking them if they want to unlink. It should default to yes, assuming they meant to click it. But it should also provide a cancel option to back out.

This will save users who mistakenly click it from having to then go and re-link that account. That process can be painful if you have a lot of banks linked and the names they provide are somewhat cryptic.

Teaching and learning

This should be self-discoverable and require no documentation to learn it. If the docs ever are updated to talk about unlinking, it should simply be shown as part of that process.
