They were definitely just asking for your security phrase, not the password for your online billing account.
As an AT&T customer, I know having one of these "passwords" is optional. If you choose to have one as an added level of security (in addition to the last 4 of the account holders social), you can add it to the account. Again, it can be completely different from your online login passowrd and is usually something simple that can be said/understood over the phone.
I found this whole article kind of funny. The rep must have been so confused as to why this customer was getting so hysterical over such a common thing.
I wish everyone would start using Dwolla so I could give up on Paypal forever. I think the thing that keeps Paypal on top is since eBay owns them, they basically force you to use Paypal if you want to do any transactions on their site.
Looks awesome. I hope you succeed but the average person is going to be weary of accidentally auto-sharing that "article" they were reading on redtube.com
Couldn't agree more. Whats the difference between advertising your site or advertising your "Win a free iPad" referral link? Go tweet anything with the word "iPad" in it then reread this article and see how you feel.
