Re: Password rage

I up-voted you for mentioning the idiotic Verified by VISA thingy.

Using my credit card number and my birthday as only requirements to reset the password it is plain stupid because they are not so secret. Besides that, the reset being done into a small frame of a hidden website for which you can not verify the validity of SSL certificates is close to dangerous.

I makes me sick to think a cretin turned into developer takes pride in pushing that as a security measure.

I even called my bank to talk about it and they refused to discuss that matter insisting it's being done for security purposes.
