Ask HN: Do you use Plaid and give them your banking login info?

It seems like such a horrible idea. I want to send money (to buy a Tesla, or to fund a Coinbase account, or whatever), and so I have to... give a random company the login credentials for my bank? Give them access to all of my business and personal accounts, all of my children's accounts, CDs, IRAs, etc. It's FAR more than they need. To this day I don't understand why anyone would use Plaid.
