The type of criminal who habitually steals phones can easily bypass all those automatic lock programs on any common phone.Great point, I have my phone on an automatic lock after a couple of minutes, so in order to get to the code, they would have to get into the phone, now that's in my case.

The OP needs a new card provider.
With the present system it is too easy to reset the password
actually breaking a code is beyond most of them.
How is it "too easy" to reset the password? How would the "robber" of my phone easily reset my password?
Stolen phones have the sim card removed immediately, and get erased promptly (before the owner can get the network or apple/google to remotely locate/disable them).The type of criminal who habitually steals phones can easily bypass all those automatic lock programs on any common phone.
I'm happy. Humans are not well suited to passwords - we can't be bothered remembering a long unique password for every different application, which is the only way to make them secure. Verified by visa was horrendously insecure. All you needed to reset the password was information written on the card, plus the owner's date of birth.Views? I'm not happy. I don't want to have to interact with my mobile when purchasing stuff online, the password was more efficient.
It also alerts when your spouse is using the card.The text message has the added bonus of alerting you if/when a malicious third party is trying to use your card.
It's only for online purchases.In my case, I am the credit card holder, and my wife is added as a second card holder. What happens in this case? She goes shopping, and encounters verified by visa, and I then get a text with the passcode and have to phone her?

Having just seen a tv3 documentary on how easy it is to spoof a text messages point of origin... i am even more wary of it being part of verified by visa.
