Not just old apps, recently I saw Robinhood/BlockFi/othere use Plaid, and Plaid pops up a dialog to enter your bank account credentials! I'm not kidding. Of course there is a note that you dont have to worry and all is fine.
Reminded me of Mint which did the same when I looked at it a few years ago.
The financial system is so far behind tech wise its crazy, maybe even irresponsible.
