That's true, I didn't think about that. I agree with what you're saying. I definitely wouldn't want to worry about someone hacking into my account, seeing that they could maybe get my credit card number or something like that, or just wreak havoc in general. I just wish the friend codes weren't as long though... although they probably need to be that long so that way they don't run into running out of codes for people.

I think the friend codes are a little tedious. I think you should have the option to add random people if you want to, but you can only truly add someone if they accept your request. And if parents are uncomfortable with it, there should be a parental control setting. I don't know how effective that would be, but at least it's there.

It would be good if you could just like make a username instead of the friend code, so that way it's not like a bunch of random numbers you won't remember. That would make things a little easier. I mean I'm not an expert or anything, but I think Nintendo could still make it secure doing it that way.
