I've just had this email from my bank. Well, this seems like a bit of a faff doesn't it? I can understand them making things more secure and I'd be the first to complain if someone else was using my card but still...
Should this be in the first world problem thread? Probably.

Dear Mr Taylor,
Soon, when you’re shopping online and want to pay with your debit or credit card, we’ll need to check it’s really you making the payment. We can do this with you through:
• Mobile Banking app - you’ll be automatically prompted if you use our Mobile Banking app
• Giving you a passcode - we’ll use the phone number we have for you.
Keeping you and your accounts safer
All UK card issuers are adding in this extra security check for some online payments, and we’re starting this from June. It’s to help protect you from online fraud when you’re shopping or banking online. By using our Mobile Banking app, your mobile phone or landline, you’ll be able to quickly and securely confirm to us it's you when you want to buy something online
