Plaid don’t store or get to see your banking password, once you connect they will get a token from the bank to access your account that’s valid until next password change.

setting up account at plaid and modifying what you share etc is just a spin to convince you.

I have used Plaid service at my work.
Be careful with that assumption. Many companies do not invalidate tokens on password changes and you need to manually deactivate all valid tokens on the account. I've even run into companies that do not provide a user interface for invalidating active tokens and I've had to ask tech support to do it manually.

"In many cases, when you link a financial institution to an app via Plaid, you provide your login credentials to us and we securely store them. "
I'm not sure how they manage to do this securely without having some way for a hacker to then get access to clear text usernames and passwords. All I could find when researching my comment was that they were PCI DDS compliant which after reading this page I guess means jack sh*t.

TL;DR I was wrong and I would also change my password as fromSf says

Edit:
Also heres a stackexchange discussion about Plaid https://security.stackexchange.com/...-user-s-banking-login-information-safe-to-use

"Securely store them" Can we say Target, Equifax, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Marriot, Facebook.... I'll likely be using my local credit union as the rates are pretty good right now.

*EDIT: Putting new stuff at the top to make it easier to notice it.

Rivian added a bunch of info about Demo Drives here:
https://rivian.com/support/demonstration-drives


I haven't seen anything posted about this yet. I just noticed that there were a few updates to the support pages, most notably this pretty detailed info about how the digital purchasing experience is going to happen:

https://rivian.com/support/article/how-can-i-prepare-for-the-digital-purchasing-experience




And information about what voice command Alexa will support:
https://rivian.com/support/article/what-can-alexa-voice-commands-do-in-rivian-vehicles


There's also quite a bit more information posted about Rivian Insurance and the Rewards.
https://rivian.com/support/article/how-do-rivians-insurance-rewards-work
(There are a lot more updates on the insurance pages but I won't post them all)
What color interior is this in the pic? Rivian Blue exterior, interior looks too light to be black, too dark to be Ocean coast (especially the wood), so is it Forest Green?! On Blue?!? Interesting…..
