<prompt> Human: Look, I know that Mint gets a lot of love around here. Ive used it for a few years, and I really love the concept of it. I want it to work for me. But the bottom line is that it just does not ever fucking work anymore. I have 9 accounts linked, and I cant remember the last time I logged in and all my accounts updated successfully. Today I logged in to see this which is 5 out of my nine accounts unable to update for the past 24 hours, and one hasnt updated for 5 days. I logged into each banks individual website, and they worked fine. These arent mom and pop institutions either. Mint currently cant connect with my American Express, Vanguard, or Wells Fargo accounts.We all know that Mint customer support is nonexistant. I realize that this is a free service and I get what I pay for. But this service is just no longer usable for me. And I have no doubt that Im going to get some replies saying Mint always works perfectly for me, you must be doing something wrong. Im glad it works for you, but a quick glance at their support forum tells me Im not the only person having these issues, not by a long shot. At one point Mint was a great time saver. But its gotten to the point where I spend so much time trying to troubleshoot my account errors that I think it would be more efficient for me to keep track of all my finances with a pencil and paper. Its 2013, there has got to be a better way.So, now that my rant is out of the way, what solutions have you used to keep track of multiple bank accounts? Is there a good alternative to Mint? I really, really dont want to have to enter all my transactions into Excel by hand, but Im not seeing a better way at the moment.  <response>: This is unfortunately largely a technical problem that Im not sure anyone can completely solve and Im one of those trying to solve it. Mint and other sites that allow you to link a variety of bank accounts connect to those accounts in a variety of ways depending on the bank. Some banks let you keep a session forever once authenticated, others need a captcha, others expire, etc, etc... The ones that work best usually Intuit has a direct deal with, the worst ones are probably scrapers.
