Any 4 characters will do! Buying online? Yeah just need those super secure 3 digits on the card please. There’s a lot of unneeded fluff today like the promos and cookie disclaimers could have been handled at protocol level. But what is there for security is generally good change, even if it makes the process more complex.
Ah yes, the “Private, simple or secure” web dilemma that will push everyone to embracing AI agents that will amplify the issues with the first three options.
