This mean it will be darn hart for someone to copy my person and order things in my name.

I do not use the two part verification. I do however get instant email alerts on all of cards/accounts when something is charged. Also, the use of the credit card if compromised is really only taking money from the credit card company and not my real money in checking/savings. It is up to the credit card company to get their money back once I advise them of fraud. Knock on wood....none of our credit cards have been compromised. It has only been bank cards(debit) and as of late identity theft with fake DL and fraudulent checks.
