Create your YNAB API access token

The YNAB API access token is a unique generated password that allows other applications to access your YNAB account.

1. Go to the developer settings in your YNAB settings (log in if you haven't already).
2. Under the "Personal Access Tokens" section, click "New Token", enter your password and click "Generate" to get an access token.
3. Edit your copy of the file "user_configuration.conf" and add your new token to the line that starts with "YNAB API Access Token". Make sure there's a single space on either side of the "=" equal sign. Save the file, and you're done.
