WHAT is the POINT of Mastercard Securecode / Verified By Visa

Its just another bloody PIN to forget

Mastercard Securecode/Verified by Visa is supposed to make online transactions easier and safer! You set up a special online PIN code for online transactions. And frankly its a pile of crap. Its supposed to be more secure as only the cardholder is supposed to be able to make the Securecode/Verified PIN code to prove the cardholder is making the actual purchase. That's still not foolproof as you can see.

But there's only 3 online retailers in the world who probably use it. I had to create a Mastercard securecode 2 weeks ago, because I'd forgotten my Visa code, and now I've forgotten my Mastercard one. ARGHHGHHH

HOW ON EARTH DO YOU EXPECT ME TO REMEMBER 2 different PINs for EACH CREDIT CARD???? 3 credit cards = 6 bloody PIN numbers!!!!! (Excluding debit cards) How am I supposed to renew my domain now huh!?!?
