I think somebody needs a > hug! I just checked Mint.com and made a few changes. If you get my user id and password, you can see my transactions, my balances, and which financial institutions. You can't log in to any accounts (Yodlee allows this) and you can't see any account numbers. I edited a couple of account names where the institution had my name in the alias they were using and my 401K because it had my company name. I repeat, I don't care if somebody sees my amounts and institutions as long as they can't identify me.

While the site currently does not allow any payments, transfers, etc. to be made, the information you've supplied is the same that *can* be used for such transactions, should it fall into the wrong hands.

So you assume a rogue employee at Mint.com (about to be Quicken online) will steal your login information? Interesting but not the point of what I was saying. My concern has always been the more likely scenario that my password is compromised. That could be as simple as someone looking over my shoulder when I am momentarily not paying attention. In that event, they would only see the information I mentioned above. Mint does background checks on their employees just like your bank and encrypts all the information you pass along. This isn't exactly available to the night cleaning staff.
