Perhaps I'd better not say :-) But none have my "main banking" attached.
And then there's the single-login CC sites that let me transfer balances
from other CC's. I'm never sure how much they check that those are *my*
other CC's, and not a hacker's.

All the sites I use have three things required to log-in on the
once-and-for-all basis, although sometimes they are public info: like my
birthdate.
