Got this e-mail this morning from CNBC as I'm sure some of you did.
CNBC has moved down the slippery slope of offering a screenscraper capability. I signed up just to see how the sight worked. I'm not too comfortable providing all my accounts and passwords. Check out the billers they have listed.

Dear Don,
I?m pleased to announce CNBC?s powerful new feature called? the Account
Tracker. Account Tracker is a service that provides the ultimate
convenience of all your online account information in one secure place,
under one password, for easy access anywhere, anytime. The Account
Tracker is now available to all CNBC.com registered members ? and, best
of all, it?s free!
Until now, you?ve had to spend hours on the Web, visiting your various
online accounts, entering multiple passwords, and printing important
information out so you can see your entire financial picture at once.
Now, with Account Tracker, you can safely and securely access all of
your online accounts from one screen:
* Banking
* Investment
* Credit card
* Travel Rewards
* Email
* Bills
Taking a few minutes to set up this service will save you the time and
hassle of logging onto each account?s site separately and having to
enter numerous passwords and PINs. Once you complete the set up, you?ll
have access to:
ú a summary of your online accounts (updated automatically every 24
hours)
ú a detailed picture complete with a history of recent transactions
ú a quick link or auto-login into the account to conduct transactions
ú an update option to access the most recent information available
You can sign up today to reap the rewards of the Account Tracker by
going to: cnbc.com 
At CNBC.com, we continue to be committed to adding services that will
provide you indispensable information and tools with the ultimate in
convenience and control. I am confident you?ll find the Account
Tracker a natural complement to CNBC.com and specifically our Portfolio
Tracker. It gives you the ability to track and monitor almost all of
your financial accounts, the way you already monitor your investment
holdings. Profit from it!
Sincerely,
