Honestly, it would be great if they had passwords instead of just a maximum 6-digit number (!!!) for auth. It's fucking absurd.

On an unregistered browser, someone has to guess the answer to two security questions and the PIN. Did it occur to you that maybe it's not a problem since it's been that way for at least 8 years now (I signed up in 06)?
