The implementations of 3DSecure I've seen were so terrible that I'm not surprised there is a drop in conversion rates. I would consider the user interface and the massive breakage as actively user-hostile. The redirects, terrible UI with blurry crappy bank logos, ugly dialog, and then I have to copy the code from my phone. And incidentally, SMS is a particularly bad method of authentication.

Especially when the code in the SMS is visible in the notification even if the phone is locked (at least in default phone configurations).
Worth checking this out. Banks are actively working on improving the customer experience through 3DSv2 https://stripe.com/en-IE/guides/3d-secure-2
That's true, I've had similar experience. Unfortunately merchants can't do anything about it, since the sites are provided by the banks.
