Puzzled, I called my issuing bank, USAA, about this and was told that I did need to register and obtain a SecureCode, which I then did (so the message was wrong about already having a number). It seems that MasterCard started rolling out this program about 8-9 months ago and Visa is doing the same. It is up to the merchant about participation and it looks like CO is now doing so. So before you purchase a ticket on CO.com with your MasterCard, you might want to ensure that you have a SecureCode.
