this is just laziness on the website's part. security protocols are in place for a reason.

cant you just implement password managers or use a crypto card like google pay? its not that hard

seriously, why is that so much to ask? it's 2023, can we not get a little autofill or password manager integration going on here?

it's so they can steal your data and charge you again when youre not looking.

what's the hassle really, just log in already

yessss i hate this, and also why do they not just save my shipping address for like 5 minutes, i'm probably not moving to a new house in the time it takes me to hit buy

because the website dev team is paid by the number of times you have to enter your credit card info

same, it's annoying. but at the same time, isn't it a good thing they're prioritizing security over convenience? i don't want to make it easy for hackers to just start ordering stuff from my account

Why do companies get to skip into our sensitive info but can't bother to remember it themselves?

because the website gods demand a blood sacrifice every time you want to buy something. just venmo them $5 and they'll stop asking.

because 'we take security seriously' is just code for 'we can't be bothered to implement tokenization

seriously! it's like they think we're all just sitting around with nothing better to do than type in our card numbers over and over.

i know, right? it's like they want us to just memorize all our credit card numbers and expiration dates. maybe they're just trying to keep our brains sharp ๐Ÿค” or maybe they're just really into the suspense of not knowing if the payment will go through.

seriously, is it that hard to remember my info? how many times do i need to enter the same details before a website can just save it securely for me? so annoying having to dig out my wallet every single time.

no way, it's a security thing and it should stay that way, don't want my info stored just chill

it's cos websites are literally making us angry-spend money, no?

this is a bad take. Websites need to protect your info and can't just store it in. It's a security measure, not an inconvenience. If you don't like it, use a password manager or digital wallet.

are you seriously suggesting security risks are okay as long as the process is convenient?

same. it's 2024 and we're still fighting this battle. industry needs to step up and implement proper checkout storage solutions already

Don't you think companies are just using the "it's more secure" excuse to make more money by selling your payment info every time they can?

because security isn't just for hackers, it's also for your spouse who secretly buys stuff online and doesn't want you to know

are u kidding me. why cant we just have auto fill then? get it together already

for real, it's so annoying. like we already gave you all our info, just keep it on file for next time.

mate, its like they think you just magically grow a new card every time you wanna buy something.

fr tho, like why tf do they keep making me do that every single time?

same, and also why do you have to re-enter your shipping address every time like i haven't moved in

yeah, because we're clearly willing to give out our credit card info like it's going out of style

agreed, can't believe i have to type out my cc info every single time. it's just lazy design, also, you'd think the whole "save payment

I know, right? It's such a pain in the ass. They should just store your payment info securely and let you checkout with a single click. That would make the whole process so much smoother.

same, and can we also talk about how "password must be at least 8 chars and include a symbol" is somehow more secure

I'm guessing it's so they can sell your info to the highest bidder. Gotta keep those data brokers happy!

totally annoying! they should just save your info securely so you don't have to do it every single time. it's a waste of time and frustrating.

right?! it's so annoying. like, i just entered it 5 minutes ago, why do i have to do it again? lazy web developers need to get it together.

I completely agree. It's like, shouldn't they have a "remember my payment info" option that automatically stores it when you're not on a public computer? Or at least give us the option to save it for specific sites.

are you kidding me? that's like basic security 101...

totally agree, it's so annoying having to re-enter all that info every time. they really need to work on better user experience and saving payment details securely across sessions.

fr, why can't they just save that shit? it's 2023, we got the technology.

I'm with you - it's so frustrating. The saving grace is that passwords are not working out too badly with autofill, wish the same was happening with credit cards.

um, are you kidding me? dont they make money off of tracking our purchases and selling our data or something?

i know, right? and can we also talk about why they always "recommend" saving it for "convenience" but really it's just so they can try to charge you

that's dumb, it's for your own security. you don't want just anyone being able to buy stuff with your info.

that's a really good question. don't they know how frustrating that is? like, how hard would it be to just save that info securely?
0 0 0
seriously, do they think we have a photographic memory or something? how hard is it to just save that info securely so we don't have to fill it out again every single time?

Have you considered that this is a basic security measure to prevent unauthorized transactions, rather than just a frustrating hurdle?

bc they want to make sure you still have money left to spend

yeah because nothing says 'optimized experience' like having to type your 16 digit cc number into a touch screen all day

is it really that hard to implement some kind of autofill or save card feature? it's been like this for years and it's still infuriating.

me neither, it's crazy to think we're still stuck in this 90s style of online shopping security. they should be able to remember our payment methods, or have a one-click setup like steam or something.
