“trading convenience for security” was what my comment responded to. Using your phone to pay is not compromising security in any way, quite the contrary actually, and I explained why.
In France, everybody (barring most gas stations, even if I have seen some with tap-to-pay nowadays) can take tap-to-pay, even the remote mountain refuges I have been hiking to. You can even pay tolls and parking with it now.
And somebody even more old-school than you would think you’re a fool not taking cash or checks with you as a backup for your card. I’ve been paying with my phone for years without any problem, I just take my card when I need to refuel my car or traveling, and most of the time I have to check my card pin code anyway on my phone because I never use it.
And if my phone is off for some reason, well I have my watch.
You know fair enough on the counter point to my post. I didn’t specify this initially but what I was actually thinking is how one would stick with stock android out of convenience (needing tap pay, banking apps, etc) instead of switching to graphene and such.
