God I Hate "Verified by Visa"

Just from the other perspective.
We force people to use verified by visa/secure code to buy from our online store. It protects us from chargebacks and guarantees we fulfill our orders quickly and efficiently as we don't wade through a load of tosh.
It will become a standard tbh, so I don't see it as a problem. People will remember their passwords as they use it more.
I do agree the screens look quite poor.

I hate security features, especially when the company is already liable for the failures...
A 4-digit PIN on a screen other people can see you entering is more secure than a signature? The courier companies still find a signature sufficient for tracking goods...
Its a poor system designed to make people feel safer about shopping online, a bit like the security at airports - lots of show and not much good at stopping determined attackers.
You can reset the visa password with some easily obtained user info like post code and date of birth which if you have been a victim of identity theft or lost your wallet the attacker most likely already has or can easily find out from public records.
All this along with the fact most people use easy passwords or the same passwords you have a flawed system that needs a overhaul.

I've had problems but not with the verified by VISA as such but with companies that don't specifically tell you that they do their banking VIA subsite which I haven't yet accepted in Firefox no script and that such banks will use a java script to process my purchase leaving me with a blank screen and not knowing if my payment went through or not.... now that gets my blood boiling websites who do business should have to state 3rd party company they have used to approve payment.
Indeed, I can see how that would be frustrating.
Our website clearly displays our payment provider is SagePay.

Yes, because anyone can see your signature at any time, but your pin only when it is being entered (bar a hacked terminal). The window of exposure is much smaller.
It's not really so much to protect the customer. 3dsecure transactions cannot be charged back to the vendor, this is why it will become a standard, and why it was invented by Visa/MC.

yea but my problem was that the environment agency woudl NOT let me complete the transation without doing it and signing up... i had reisted for so long - but i couldnt afford to not buy my rod licence as it was a sunday morning and i needed it to go fishing that day ... so i was coerced into it, involuntarily.
thankfully im on a new cc now that is not registered.

I (usually) remember my password but what annoys me is that these things never work for me when using Firefox. I have to stop and then go through the process again in IE. 
If you don't want to use the secure system that is up to you. The vendor has taken the decision to protect themselves, as we have done, and surely you don't begrudge us that? If you have moved to a cc that doesnt yet use it, don't expect to wait long until you get your own form of 3dsecure on that too. Visa and MC already have it, AMEX has its own, others will follow.

That will be to do with how your FF is set up. They couldnt afford to not have it compatible with FF.
This, it is great. No different to typing a pin in at the cash point.
Would you like a cash point to just accept a card and let you withdraw money with no security.
Just remember your password.
I can't remember my password either so I fill in the first page then click cancel on the second page. The payment still goes through.
You are incredibly daft.
Or sarcastic.
