How to Change a MasterCard Secure Code
The MasterCard SecureCode program provides cardholders with additional buyer protection during online shopping. Register your card at the SecureCode site for your financial institution and create a unique personal identification number. When shopping at a participating online merchant, your financial institution prompts you to enter the SecureCode PIN during checkout. Successfully entering your PIN provides a method of verifying card ownership. Your purchase is finalized. Log into your personal account to quickly change your SecureCode PIN online.
