Exactly. If I found a third-party company that was having users create accounts on my systems for the purposes of pulling data out, I would block it too, probably more quickly than ADP did.
Imagine if a company asked for your Google password instead of using the proper API channels. I don't know many users who would do that.
- pyre 11y ago> Imagine if a company asked for your Google password instead of using the proper API channels This would be more like creating a new Google Apps email account for someone, and allowing them to use it to (e.g.) manage things on your Google Drive (by sharing a group folder with them). How many companies hire a 3rd party accounting / HR firm (or person) to manage their bookkeeping? How many of them create an ADP admin account for these people so that they can manage payroll? How is this that much different than Zenefits?

- aioprisan 11y agoThis is exactly how most resellers on Google Apps are set up, actually.
- whoisthemachine 11y agoThe Google password scenario actually used to be a pretty common thing before Google built an API.
