Mint has received a lot of press in recent years, so it's fairly well known. If you haven't poked around on the site yet, know that it is a great, one-stop shop for tracking your financial life. You can import all your bank accounts into this tool and watch where your money goes.
Mint's goal is to provide you with better insight on how you spend, budget, and save your income. To help you, they let you set-up budgets, savings goals, and allow you to use charts and graphs to track your money. You can set up e-mail and text alerts to alert you to changes in your accounts. Additionally, Mint is constantly creating new features (like mobile apps) to help their users.
Unfortunately, I can't individually link to all the websites features, but Mint has provided a tutorial that provides a feature-by-feature introduction to the tool.
The main downside to Mint is that they recommend new financial services. (That's how they make their money.) While these recommendations are rather subtle, they can be slightly annoying.
The service is free and, best of all, quite secure.
