- zippergz 11y agoOn the contrary, this is why I don't use Mint...
- sp332 11y agoNot everyone does. And anyway it's owned by Intuit which has a much longer track record than this new company, so it's not the same thing.

- ryanlol 11y agoHow's that article relevant? It's the typical Krebs "IRS sucks" piece with some intuit mixed in, because apparently even fraudsters - doing potentially hundreds of filings a day - think that turbotax is the most convenient way of filing your taxes.
- barnaclejive 11y agoServices like Mint, Personal Capital, MoneyWiz, etc don't directly store or use your banking login, they pay to go through secure, well-known services like Yodlee http://www.yodlee.com http://www.yodlee.com Is privacy.com actually asking for bank logins, or just your bank account number/routing? In either case, it is nothing new or uniquely scary about this service. If you're not comfortable with this, then there really aren't any third-party online banking apps you are going to be comfortable with anyway.
