You gave them the credentials to all of your accounts, and then are shocked that they used them? What&amp;#x27;s more incredible is that you haven&amp;#x27;t changed the credentials for any of your critical accounts in that time.</text></comment>

The whole point of Mint is to track your spending so that you have a unified dashboard of your money ? If it didn&amp;#x27;t import all of those things you wouldn&amp;#x27;t have much use of it. Also you can remove accounts from it if you don&amp;#x27;t want it to track.</text></comment>
