Mint.com
Mint.com is a free web-based personal financial management service for the US and Canada

Description
Mint's primary service allows users to track bank, credit card, investment, and loan transactions and balances through a single user interface as well as make budgets and goals. In 2009, it was acquired by Intuit

price
Free

Security
Mint asks users to provide both the user names and the passwords to their bank accounts, credit cards, and other financial accounts, which then Mint stores in their databases in a decryptable format. This has raised concerns that if the Mint databases are ever hacked, both user names and passwords would become available to rogue 3rd parties. Some banks support a separate "access code" for read-only access to financial information, which reduces the risk to some degree

I saw mentioned here and in other threads that mint.com is secure because it's 'read only'

it is simply not true;

to clarify:
                  Mint needs to access your financial accounts read-only since they don't do any transactions.
                  the user-name and password you provide is decrypt-able since they have to login.
                   if any hacker hacks their database and gets your user-name and password they can make any transaction they want.
unless
                   you provide Mint.com with a read only access token.

Note
the accounts don't have to be from 1 person or the same SSN.
if you have one account displayed in multiple accounts you can hide them in settings (Top left accounts)
you can set what category it should be marked in the future by selecting category > expand "Edit detials" > check "Rules"

Ive had that issue too, but I think that if you manually correct the name Mint will learn for next time. (It definitely does for the category, not sure about the transaction name)

Transactions at Apple Drugs were categorized as "Electronics" for a while. It finally got the hang of it after a few times.

Anyone know if mint can keep track of my serve and BB balances as well? Or of another service that does this?
I would love a way to see all of my assets/accounts in one place.
TIA

you can probably call them another "bank name" and input transactions manually?

Happens.
Check (PageOnce) made me once a millionaire for a night..
It was the night after $AAPL split 1:7, they already had figured out that I now have 7 times the amount of shares I had  the day before, but for some reason still priced each share at the old price..
I remember opening the app and it took me a minute figuring out what happened... Probably one of the best 60 seconds of my life...
I still have the screenshot, it helps me get through a down day at times.

Maybe if it's a really old account... I've seen it pulling in a year's worth of info (maybe more) the first time I link an account.
