D--M22667yYou mean instead of tapping, i need to tap THEN put in a pin number?
No thanks, thats a fucking hassle.
Whats so unsecure about it? If you lost your card, cancel it, if you see unauthed transactions dona chargeback, a pin does literally nothing. -
I have a card that needs to be inserted and it uses PIN. Considering skimming techniques, i'm honestly thinking switching to PayView card for tapping only. At least I will br insured from it being stolen this way.

galena71167yWell there is probably a limit on it. Ive only heard of things below 25$ are accepted without PIN. But this is still a bad thing to do!

@D--M @JFK422
I'm not even talking about the contactless cards that you just tap. They have a limit upto which you can transact (still paranoid about it though). My debit card, which is a travel card actually, can be used anywhere as long as you have the card. No PIN and no reasonable limit. It's friggin scary.
Why the fuck is debit cards that don't need a PIN for transactions even a thing? What is so difficult to understand or implement in a two factor authentication? Like do these companies have meetings where some fucktard proposes removing a crucial security feature and the others just nod approval?
