I was wondering about the no use of Mint. This post (by mint itself) says that they don't store passwords and only provide a read version of your data. http://satisfaction.mint.com/mint/topics/is_my_data_safe_wit...

Could you/someone who has more knowledge of this than me explain how this is safer (if it is) and then possibly explain if/how someone could hack mint to get my information.

I always thought of mint as just as safe as using online banking, is this very flawed?
