Activate 3D Secure.

Feb 12, 2022

3D Secure (3DS) is a technical standard created by Visa and Mastercard to further secure CNP (Cardholder not Present) transactions over the Internet. It adds an extra layer of protection to online shopping. With 3DS enabled, you have 2-step authentication on every online purchase—so no payments will ever go through unless you authorize them yourself.
