And if they get hacked and my password is abused to steal money from my account, will my bank cover the liability? I doubt it - I gave my password away. I assume it's like a stolen ATM PIN, I eat the loss. No thanks.

Actually, your bank is required by law to limit your liability to $50 if reported within 2 days, or to $500 if reported within 60 days. Many states are even more friendly towards consumers, and some banks have voluntarily made their policies more consumer-friendly than that, limiting liability to $50 in all cases, for example.
