Verified by Visa: Why are you so rubbish?

[LeeUK]

Hate things that don't allow you to use previous passwords as that means they are keeping a record of them. Which means when they are hacked they have a bunch of possible passwords that you could still have in use on other sites and services.

I'd imagine they would just store a hash of them rather than the actual characters

 

[skaif]

Never has an issue with this service, what actually goes wrong?

 

[james.miller]

How'd you figure that? This might be a geek forum where people use hashes and unique passwords for every single website but like 99% of the rest of the population I can't remember different passwords to 100 different sites, access said sites on numerous computers and devices and think my 20-digit random assortment of letters and passwords is as strong as a 6 digit one with an exclamation mark at the end.

Use a password manager if you cant remember your passwords.

never had a problem with it

 

[Cosimo]

Doesn't come up very often and when it does never had a problem with it.

 

[Tefal]

This,
and I think it requires some irritating combination of letters and numbers, but then makes it too short to use my existing password, so I'm stuck trying to think of something memorable but only 6-10 characters in length

Sweet jebus, what kind on ****stain programmer thought it was a good idea to limit the size of a password, save a whole byte did we?
Please die by rectal explosion.

temporary usernames/passwords you get sent can make good ones to use.

random collection of letters and numbers and usually the right size.

I hate it too, always have to reset the password.

Although on my old card/bank I logged in once then it would automatically log in.

Thinking about it, I've not seen it for some time now. Thank ****.

 

[bartledvd]

Neither me or misses ever had an issue using it takes few extra seconds then done

 

[SonniLombardi]

Use your own card instead of someone else's?

Lol

 

[esoteric]

Whenever it pops up it just skips through it all. Never had to do anything after the first time set up.

 

[ianh]

On 99.9% of websites it just goes on in the background with no input from me however it never lets me buy anything online from OcUK, it always fails and I have to phone instead.

It's stopped many a drunk purchase of something silly

 

[thep02]

I hate it mainly because I always forget the password and it prevents you from changing it to anything you've had in the past.

This.

 

[MadMouse101]

Works ok for me.

 

[byeo]

I like it, never had any issues and like the added layer of security it brings.

Yeah, not how password storage works

-

I've never had a problem with verified by Visa personally, what problems are people having that aren't just a forgotten password?

 

[doofer]

I'm pretty sure you can just ignore it completely and carry on with your purchase if you want to, unless it only does that on some Sites and not others, it is only offered as an added protection if you want to use it.

Doesn't bother me, the Mastercard one works in much the same way.

 

[koolpc]

When it first ever popped up i filled in the first details but then chose 'cancel'. It then went through.

I do this everytime if need be or i have found that once you start to see it load, if you click the page, anywhere, it reloads, click the page again and it disappears and you then move on to completion!

I have three Mastercards, all three go to the security page, but then two out of three just skip it and carry on. Never been offered it, never had to use it. As such, I find the Mastercard system to be wonderful
