An “Update” button will appear if there are new transactions, and clicking it will update the spreadsheet.LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Millions of people share their bank account passwords with third-party sites and apps that help them track their spending, but some of the biggest financial institutions, wary of hacking risks, are trying to scare people into not using them.
