you would think so, but this is not the case... Visa and MasterCard still allow purchases/transactions from many 'processors' using only name and card number - in some cases, no expiration or 'security code' (the 3-digit code on the back of the card)
and yes, i have the same security password system on my MasterCard - only seems to be required for overseas transactions (Asia) and a few U.S. vendors - such as Newegg
even with those protections, i recently had to have a new card issued due to spurious charges...
