All of my cards have excellent theft protection policies though. If my card gets stolen, I'm not responsible for any damages. That's a great security policy; better than most websites.

They _assume_ card numbers will get stolen all the time and invest in identifying suspicious behavior. And all behavior is 100% auditable all the time. Security isn't just about authentication/authorization. I wish more websites assumed passwords might get phished and thought through how to protect users in that case.

My credit card numbers are one of my pieces of private information I feel _least_ apprehensive about sharing.

Thing is, you pay for that cc number protection with every transaction. How are you going to pay for the same sort of protection on your password?
