When you register you'll create a password and a "personal assurance message". When you shop online with a participating retailer you'll see your personal assurance message, which lets you know that your purchase will be verified by Visa.

Once you've seen your personal assurance message, enter your password. We check and confirm your password, and then your purchase can go ahead. Without your password, the store won't accept your Visa.

Additional cardholders can register for Verified by Visa separately, with their own password and personal assurance message.
