It helps at this point that Mint itself and its corporate owner Intuit have a long history of reasonably good online security (certainly better than some banks I've used), plus the whole "owned by Intuit" thing gives a solid paper-trail to keep anyone from recourselessly running away in the night with my information.
Gaining this trust, though, will probably not be easy. One advantage a site like Mint has is that they have so much content and so many partnerships that it is clear they are not a scam, have enough at stake to not misuse my information, and probably have the resources to keep it safe. A site like yours, however, could easily have been cobbled together in a number of hours by a scammer. (I don't mean this as a criticism -- I actually like your site. It just doesn't have anything on it to suggest that you are the sort of business I can trust with my passwords.)
