I’ve been using mint.com for a while now, and find it much simpler to use than Money by Microsoft. The site succeeds by keeping complexity to a minimum. I’ve put together a getting started guide for the website. If you’re interested follow my link.

With regard to resetting passwords, it is a tough one: you want it to be easy enough that you will do it, but hard enough that no one will try to hack it. At Thrive (www.justthrive.com), I think we went too far in one direction on our first pass: we currently require that you verify transaction level data, which is hard, since most people use Thrive to monitor their transactions! We’re working on a revision that uses a combination of e-mail and security questions to make it hard, but not too hard.

I’ve been back and forth over the security of Mint–but in response
to one of the writers above using scare tactics on my home being
lost, my wife raped, and my car blown up….Mint does traffic
information between your accounts…but sign up for a bank account
online and see what you have to do..enter your NAME and SS#. I gave
Mint my e-mail address. Like another reader above, e-mail is the
weak link here, make sure yours won’t be beaten
