Eli5 why websites, apps and devices require complicated passwords, yet credit / debit cards only require a 4 digit pin
In: 23
The card number itself and other information on the card is also required to process a credit card transaction.
Because not all that information is visible, just a photocopy of the card can’t be used to make a transaction. If the card is lost/stolen, it’s assumed the cardholder would cancel it quickly.
