data identifying the multiple financial accounts; and
the associated modes; and
handling the user data associated with each of the plurality of financial institutions in accordance with an associated trust mode each time one of the multiple financial accounts is accessed, wherein accessing one of the multiple financial accounts comprises a financial analysis system accessing the account on behalf of the user.
2. A method as recited in claim 1 wherein the plurality of trust modes comprises a moderate trust mode that directs the financial analysis system to encrypt the user data, and store the encrypted user data.
3. A method as recited in claim 2 wherein the moderate trust mode directs the financial analysis system to encrypt the user authentication data using one-way encryption.
4. A method as recited in claim 1 wherein the plurality of trust modes comprises a high trust mode that directs the financial analysis system to encrypt the user authentication data using two-way encryption, and store the encrypted user authentication data.
5. A method as recited in claim 1 further comprising associating a default mode with each of the multiple financial accounts if the user does not select a valid trust mode.
6. A method for analyzing financial data, the method comprising:
a processor-based financial analysis system receiving a user request to monitor a plurality of user accounts;
the system receiving account access information from the user regarding each of the user accounts via a network, wherein the account access information comprises user authentication data;
the system receiving a selection of one of a plurality of trust modes from the user for each of the plurality of accounts, wherein each trust mode directs the financial analysis system to handle the user authentication data in a specified manner; and
the system automatically monitoring the plurality of user accounts via the network, comprising,
accessing the user accounts using the received account access information; and
retrieving current account information regarding the user accounts.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein the plurality of trust modes comprises at least one high trust mode that implies the user has granted automatic access to a user account.
8. The method of claim 6, wherein the plurality of trust modes comprises at least one low trust mode, wherein accessing a user account using the received account access information and a low trust mode comprises:
asking the user for a missing credential; and
retrieving current account information regarding the user account when the missing credential has been supplied.
9. The method of claim 6, further comprising:
notifying a plurality of financial institutions of the availability of the plurality of trust modes;
