a lot of people use it buuuuuuuuuuuuuut I won't. Just look at all the data breaches we see. Not worth the risk for me

If you’re asking whether it’s a legit outfit, yes it is.
If you’re asking whether your data is safe online, no it isn’t. Not with anyone. Ever.

This right here... without sharing your login info with anyone, security breaches happen... and every time you share the info, a breach becomes more probable...

No thanks. Like many, I've already got all my eggs in one basket by using a password manager where everything is stored in the cloud. No way I'm going to double my risk of exposure by putting all my financial accounts in another online account. Besides, keeping track of my half dozen or so financial accounts is easy and doesn't warrant the use of something like Mint.
I wish banks would allow you to create read-only accounts. Then, I'd happily use such a service.

When it comes to Intuit, don't many people and companies already put their information into their software from Quicken to TurboTax for decades now anyway?

My businesses use Quickbooks, not online, we do our own backup. Personally, I do not and as far as
I know neither does my CPA, reason for using them. Privacy & security conscience, as is our clients.
Do you?
