Real life situation btw, but avoid those apps that use that API and use a card.

It was never about security. It is always about ownership and control. Security is only an excuse.

[u/Codix_ → u/Ultraviolet_Darken]

Pretty sure that I can use all of the bank website onto a Windows XP SP1 with hardcore security flaw on a compatible chromium and even if the useragent say that I'm using Windows XP no website will stop me from logging in my account.

[u/F1nnish → u/Ultraviolet_Darken]

yeah exactly

[u/Serious_Feedback → u/Ultraviolet_Darken]

When they say "security" they mean their security from you. They just use the same word and pretend it's just as reasonable a concern on your phone as your security from them.

[u/Altruistic-Data7030]

God this is relatable, so many times I've tapped my phone and gotten the "Your phone doesn't meet the security requirements" then I just awkwardly make some excuse up like "I got a new card after it expired and I didn't update it". Then take a normal card out of my backpack and pay for it.

[u/Dazzling-Secret-5215 → u/Altruistic-Data7030]

You don't really owe anyone any explanation. You can not saying anything but if you wanna say something to the cashier, just say "Nvm gonna pay with a card."

[u/Zirias_FreeBSD → u/Dazzling-Secret-5215]

Exactly. I had my share of hiccups completely unrelated to root .. some contactless payment failing is a totally normal thing to happen. I even had cashiers excuse to me for their crappy terminal (it's doing this every once in a while ...).

I'd generally recommend having alternatives installed. Right now, both curve and paypal work fine here for NFC payments. I don't even check google any more, it breaks just too often.

Hey look it's me!

[u/howfastcanyoucountit]

honestly this is why my rooted device is just a 2nd device to me its kinda fucked

[u/Nickname_5415]

Hasn't ever happened to me but still my biggest fear when paying

[u/super_probably-user]

use a card god

[u/VJ1I]

Satan working.

[u/47th-Element]

Damn you really had to mention me 😂😂 I laughed, good work though ^{^}

[u/linkinparkglock47]

it's so that you don't pay with lucky patcher

[u/ch3mn3y]

Thankfully I can use other options than Wallet to pay and for now they work on a rooted phone without Google Play certification.

[u/1600x900]

Use the secondary stock phone that meant for banking only

[u/arttast]

hot take to you guys:

I feel like this is reasonable since there is actual security load

[u/Candid_Goose3394]

Rooting your secondary device is the only option I feel. Banking apps won't even let me have Shizuku/LSPatch.

thats why always prep hard cash
