  As a matter of principle, I don’t save my credit card number anywhere. It’s a little more tedious when I make a purchase, but I’ve got my number memorized anyway, so it’s not a big deal, and it’s definitely more secure in that respect.

    I leave my credit card stored with some places, but I specifically don’t leave it on steam just to add a speed bump for me to avoid buying a game unless I really want it. I tend to add games to my wish list, then sort of impulse buy if they go on sale for really cheap, or remove them later if I’ve decided I’ll never get around to playing them.

    I’m not too worried about security, worst case I can get a new credit card number. But it seems like steam and other online retailers are pretty good about not leaking your credit card number.

  At least that one has a simple solution: delete your saved card.

  Do you not need to put your CCV in on most purchases? I’d say it’s more often than not that it asks

    I just put in a purchase and no, it did not ask me to re-enter the CCV.

    Not every purchase, same if you use the PayPal option. At least not in my state in USA.

    Seems pretty random when it asks or not

  I think that’s store driven. I recall having to input my PIN on my Deck multiple times, but there was at least a few days between each purchase.

    I would prefer if it behaved like phone app stores. Have an option to ask for a pin right before completing a purchase.

      It took me too long to realize you folks didn’t mean pin as in pin the game to a dash board of something but a personal identification number for pin.
