It is really difficult getting anything done online in Korea. First of all you are forced to use Internet Explorer due to the Active-x control Crap. Then you need to install 3-4 different programs.The you need to type in passwords and then certificate password followed by 2 security card passwords..I mean this is totally crazy..So basically to get anything done it takes a whole lot of time and effort..
I wish it was easier..It is similar for business..If you own a limited company you are forced to issue electronic tax invoices passing through a lot of program installs and passwords..I mean for God's Sake why can't they make things simpler and life easier...
Even shopping online is a nightmare with so many different restrctions on card usage and if you shop anything more that 300,000 won you need yet another electronic certificate..Comapre it to buying a domain on godaddy..All you need is your credit card number, expiry and cvc code..

Re: why korean online transactions has so many passwords?
It's what Korea does best. Make things as user un-friendly as possible and be on the look-out for things that work well in order to convert it quickly over to something worse. As tech-savvy as they are, I swear no one knows how to code a proper web page. It's evident in their continued use of active X controls and forced use of IE... IE!!!!
