The first rule of security is don't tell people your password.
The second rule of security club is DON'T FUCKING TELL PEOPLE YOUR PASSWORD.
"We need to link your bank account"
Ok
"Put your password to your bank account in this little JavaScript widget"
Bro??? What? To my fucking bank account? Arguably the most important password I have?
"We promise we won't log it"

How is this considered NORMAL?!
And now there's some sites that won't even let you do the "old way" of making tiny deposits! They demand that you use Plaid!
AAAAHHH CRAZY PILLS
