This is correct, you need to be signed up to it. I guess it will become more
mandatory when they hit a certain percentage of people using it. It's also
after you have completed the credit cards details.

As for the pin number/phishing/same password for everything argument, I'm
not saying it's perfect ... but I believe it gives me greater confidence as
a buyer if it's being used.
