I'm not sure I'd feel safe if anyone could pay an amount above € 3000 after stealing my watch / phone / card and putting them on a terminal.
- NorwegianDude 3y agoWell, you can just turn off payments on the stolen device. As for the phone, you need to unlock the phone for larger purchases. The card requires a pin for larger purchases. The watch needs to be unlocked to after being removed from the arm. So that is not something to be worried about.
- tekknik 3y agoMaybe in Norway, but there absolutely is no pin check when making large purchases through at least Apple Card via Apple Pay. I made a $9800 US purchase a few months back and it was just face ID, which apparently can be fooled easily.

- tekknik 3y agoMaybe I shouldn’t have used the word easily. It can be spoofed, maybe not easily. And people buy things at more than a store, like online, and phones verify those purchases just the same.
