I've been using Mint Bill's for years to pay any of my non-direct draft bills.

Recently I got the full on Mint App and am wanting to link all of my accounts to it (Vanguard, Fidelity, banking, etc.)

Should I be worried about the security of Mint?

Thanks

Supposedly it is very secure. I'm sure as it has grown, it has become a larger target, but no breaches so far.

Thanks. I see they got purchased by Intuit which is a pretty big deal.. so I don't expect any issues.

industry insider (woot!)...MINT itself is very secure. However, you should use a separate password for each of your banking sites (don't make goLSU your password for all your sites).

Make sure you turn on 2-factor authentication for MINT and your other banking sites too.

I'm in the same boat as you. Just switched everything over this week and I've been liking it a lot so far. I do worry about the security of anything with that much personal bill/bank info in one place, but I had the mint bills app back when it was called whatever it was and didn't get hit then. Intuit seems like it would beef that up.

I really wish mint would invest in better visualizations. I want it to be a budget tool first. Mint Bills has no value for me. I have everything on autopay already.

If they spelled it that way, they would deserve to get hacked.
