If we are complaining about credit cards, mine is the large number of sites that ask for credit card details out of order. Number, then name, then zip code, maybe month/year or some equally cursed implementation. Even better if tabbing between fields is equally random.
Have these designers never looked at their own credit card before? Or is there just an incredible desire to be different that they require a unique take for this already solved problem?
I wonder how many of these are intentionally randomizing the form you get during checkout, in an effort to thwart automated purchases by bot accounts. I don't know anything about this space, but I've definitely noticed that my bank does this with its login flow. There's at least a dozen variations and domains I might get redirected to on any given day. Does anyone who works in this space know of a similar practice for online checkout?
Really??? That sounds insanely insecure by design. If I tried to log in to a secure site and was redirected to a random site I'd assume I was the victim of a link backing attack and back out. Normalising this kind of behavior by a bank sounds like a very bad idea.
