As usual verizon makes no sense.
This is an extra layer of security used to stop those who could otherwise get access to your account. It's nothing new, considering everyone under the sun is doing that. Adding a piece to the puzzle gives Verizon that much more ability to stop people from doing nefarious things with the account, should they manage to get your info (eg: Spyware on a computer).
Most use of pins override the need for password or allow the reset of passwords. I am anti-pin as pins are usually only 4 digits long.
