You give your FI your FI usename and password, which they already have anyway.

If someone is monitoring your internet traffic to steal information, that is the risk you take every day.

Thanks very much for taking time to reply.

I've used TT for several years, and this is the first time I've been asked for my username and password for FI. I realize things change, but still do not know what measures TT takes to protect that information. As we both know, sophisticated hackers abound.

FWIW, you don't lose style points for saying you don't know, or that TT's protection measures are not available.

Thanks again,

Loren
