TurboTax and JPMorgan Chase d/l (and I assume others)

So I noticed that when I attempt to download my transactions 
(eg:1099-INTs) from JPMorgan Chase using TurboTax this year, I am being 
asked to sign into some Intuit server, or create an account to do so.

Is this a new thing from last year? I don't recall, and I guess I am not 
too thrilled with the idea of going through a third party now if so. 
Must be other FIs as well?

OTOH, Intuit already sees everything anyway when I submit the return 
electronically to the IRS and State tax authorities...so I probably 
shouldn't be that concerned.

Comments??
