If you're worried about security you should be clearing your cookies regularly anyway.

May God help the person that will steal my computer to try to log on my Subeta account to buy CSC

Your signature is 913 px wide by 77 px tall. Please note this can be affected by CustomCSS if you have any.

(Because text affects the width of your signature, we suggest testing with all text removed to be sure your width is correct.)

if you had to leave your computer or portable device for whatever reason and couldn&;t log out
I think you should log out if you're concerned about other people around, even if you got PINs enabled.

Try clearing your cookies as others suggested to test it. Maybe as a last resort ask Subeta to put a PIN before using Braintree?

in your first post you asked this( please don't let it not ask for that security code)Then you asked for Braintree to ask for it. So I really don't get what you are asking for do you want that or not

that's an unnecessary step. I do hope that grelca is successful in making Paypal ask for confirmation for us if we want to save our card or not. Because having to clear cookies, etc, every time after a purchase is rather a nuisance as it logs you out, too, and you have to log in again. Personally, I'd like to see this confirmation of saving your card info be implemented by braintree/paypal because that would be the security feature at the very least to keep from having your card saved. However, I do wish an additional password was implemented so that it could keep in even more secure x_x It's not Braintree having my card info that I'm worried about, but moreso how there's no password asked for at time of purchase, or any personal identifier to confirm that it is the card holder making the purchase.

the reason why I feel safer with directly using paypal over braintree is that to use the paypal page to buy anything, you need to enter a different set of login info (aka: the paypal username and password). That's another safety barricade right there. With braintree all it is is your subeta site login info which isn't as secure. To have another gateway to go through makes it more secure as you would probably have another password for the paypal login page over your subeta login page (at least I'd hope people would). That's the difference I'm trying to point out.

I don't know who mentioned stripe, I think it was Darkrai, but as for Stripe, if you saved your info, you got a PIN sent to your cell via text and you had to enter that PIN in to complete the transaction. If you couldn't get the PIN (cell battery dead, etc), you had to re-type everything in again, including the CVC code which made me feel more comfortable.

it's two ways of saying the same thing. Please do not let it not ask for the code is the same as saying please make it ask for the code. The first way is asking for it to not do the reverse of the something that it's doing.

Eg: "Please do not let my dog not come in the house" - a wordier way of saying please don't keep my dog outside. Same thing.

No it didn't. I have always had my card saved with Stripe and I never once had to enter a PIN to make a purchase. All I do is go to the page and click Use Saved Card.

The only thing saving your information is the cookie on your own device. Like said, if you're worried about security you should be clearing your cookies anyway. In Firefox, you can clear specific cookies (I don't know about other browsers) so you could just go in and delete the cookie holding your card information and you're fine.

I understand your point. You don't understand mine... If you don't like the security of something, then it is super easy to ignore that payment method and use the one that you feel ok with.

It´s easy: If you think the payment system isn´t safe don´t use it. Follow your instinct. Don´t let other people talk you into it.

do you really honestly expect grelca, a programmer for this site, to contact paypal, a multimillion dollar international company, and demand they change the way they do things

because if so you need a reality check, you're just as capable of calling paypal and making those silly demands yourself

Just because it's on Subeta doesn't mean Subeta manages things

But... it doesn't display your credit card numbers and stuff, right? Like the full number and expiration date and address and all of that info someone would need to actually steal the info and use it somewhere else?

So the only real 'security' concern here is the possibility that someone could get into your Subeta account and buy CSC, on your account, from the same browser you used to buy the CSC. This theoretical CSC thief would have to know about Subeta to be interested in buying virtual currency here, otherwise how would it even occur to them? That means it's someone close to you and they either know your Subeta password, which means you left that info vulnerable (not smart) or you are in public and playing Subeta, and a stranger who happens to play sees you, and you walk away and leave your computer unattended (not smart).

So basically like any secure website - be smart about it and you'll be fine.

Visa and Mastercard both have policies where if a payment is made on your card without your authority that you can reported and usually you will have the transaction refunded.

If you are not comfortable with the Braintree method of payment don't use it.

Seems completely unnecessary to me. If someone managed to steal my laptop they'd need to crack the password for it first before buying csc.

Why not go with that route instead of expecting a huge business like Paypal to change how they do things?

I have my credit card saved on so many sites like this - I think someone brought up Amazon One-click, which I use all the time. I think if someone hacked into my laptop (which would require them to know my Laptop password ;) ) I'd be more worried about them buying a bunch of stuff on Amazon. Or Sephora or one of the many other sites my credit card is saved in.

It's all about just being smart.

Lots of panic over nothing. It's already been explained multiple times why it's secure, but as an additional note, that 3 digit security code is a fart in the wind security wise. If people want to go hog wild tearing money out of your credit card they do not need that code to authorize it.

As someone who HAS been scammed before and who has watched countless others go through it, most if not all of the time it is the victim's fault.

The easiest way to protect yourself from fraud: change your passwords on a regular basis.

I'm with . I'd be more concerned about someone doing damage via amazon or ulta or my ebay account than I am about them doing damage here. Either way, they need at least two passwords to get in to any of the places I have my CC info saved.
