Kagi Frequently Asked Question

Question:

What is First Virtual and how does it work?

Answer:

It is a method of allowing electronic commerce across the internet. First Virtual uses a system where you sign up with First Virtual and give them your credit card number and some secret code words. When you buy something, you send your secret code words to the merchant. The merchant sends the code words to First Virtual who in turn asks you to verify that you did make this purchase. If you agree, they charge your credit card and eventually send money to the merchant.
