After looking at those answers and reviewing the relevant parts of Regulation E that it cites, I do feel like the regulation pretty-comprehensively disallows banks to impose liability on the consumer for sharing their password. Answer 8 especially that notes that no waiver of Regulation E is allowed makes me feel more comfortable.
I'd still support an open-banking API law, but your citations here have really turned down the urgency for me on that issue.
(And, yep I'm familiar that Plaid does not share the password beyond itself and the relevant bank it's authenticating with)
