🏦Bank of America Warns Customers Not to Give AI Assistants Their Login Credentials

Sharing your bank login with AI just became your problem

Bank of America just told its customers to stop giving their banking logins to AI assistants. The email, titled "Protecting your finances in the AI World," landed in inboxes and then got posted to social media. A bank spokesperson confirmed it's legit. If you're one of the people who pasted your credentials into a chatbot to get it to reconcile your spending, this one's for you. The bank's position is blunt: you're responsible for anything that happens on an account you've shared access to. Most banks' account agreements already work this way. The catch is that AI agents make sharing feel routine, and the risk isn't hypothetical. A security flaw in an AI assistant could leak your credentials to hackers. The warning is short on numbers but long on liability. Customers were told sharing login details could result in unauthorized access or a locked account. Account agreements at most banks hold you accountable for anyone you give your log-in to. Bottom line: the bank won't eat the loss for an agent you chose to trust.
