Expand the Transaction Finder plugin role, select the
Squirrel parser from the entity browser, and then click the
Properties tab.

Log in to the parser configuration page using the username and password you defined
during the parser installation.
NOTE: If this is your first time logging in, your credentials will be accepted, encrypted, and saved.
