Is it possible to get this piece of st disassociated from a card?

I got tricked into having to activate it when I made a purchase from O2 and now when I try to use my card online VBV fails authentication despite me entering the correct info.

Secure? It's so secure I can't spend my own money you fktards punch

You should just be able to reset it, which is naturally incredibly secure! Not a fan myself, at all,

I found that you have to use capitals (or at least thats how it seems to be with my card).

My PW is in lower case. The info was correct, VBV failed to authenticate.

I don't have to use capitals and always seems to work for me, however I am after getting it removed also, apparently, I'm not sure in the truth of this, It's a fraud disclaimer, so if anyone manages to get your card details and cracks the password, you can't claim back the money as fraudulent rolleyes

Cheeky buggers!

Ring up your card provider and ask to get it removed.

They will not let you reuse passwords and the security questions for getting a new password are laughable rolleyes It is a thin bit of protection but no barrier for a serious scammer.

If you have more than one Visa card (say a bank card and a credit card) you will need a separate VBV password for each as there is no link between them as far as Visa is concerned. May explain why your correct data was rejected - perhaps it was for a different card! Absolute pain as there is no way of telling which password applies to which card, unless you make a note.......
Whole system is a con as it gets Visa off the hook if there is a fraud but leaves you hung out to dry.

To be honest, none of the card companies really give a stuff about fraud - they don't lose a penny. Anything that gets purchased fraudulently is simply charged back the the supplying retailer. Card company lose nothing, card owner loses nothing, retailer loses it all and has no leg to stand on.

It's a great system.
