Which is a pity, given the website is the most frequent avenue for interaction for many. It seems unlikely that banks really care what sites like Mint are doing -- but they should! If our only choice is to give our credentials to a site like Mint in order to use it, banks should see this as a red flag and get to work coming up with new ways to keep their clients safe. I guess it's easier for them to say "ha, that's why you should never give your username and password out to sketchy people like <i>Mint</i>" instead of actually solving the problem on their end.

Weird. Anyway, that's good to know! Thanks. US Banks prefer a company like Mint to know about their clients’ credentials than to spend a relatively tiny amount of money to implement OAuth… Weird.
