I personally use mint, and love it. This is for a few reasons:
* the product is really good; it's really easy to use, it connects to just about everything, and the alerts/trends system is great
* I really like the alerts system; they've given me tax tips and warned me about upcoming payments that I might have otherwise missed
* they seem pretty competent from the security side; they have a fair amount of material on their site covering this (e.g. http://www.mint.com/privacy/security-tech/ http://www.mint.com/privacy/security-tech/)
Obviously mint has a huge incentive to have really strong security; since they have so much of your data they have to comply with stringent security regulations in order to just operate their business, and if mint were to be compromised it would be a huge blow to them. If you think about it, they have a lot more riding on their security than your bank does!
I can understand why other people don't want to give their credentials to mint, but the quality of the product and the fact that they seem pretty clueful makes me not really worry about it.
