iOS version 13.1.2
Paypal version: 7.18.2
Until yesterday all was working perfectly, whenever I wanted to log in to Paypal on my iPhone I was asked for a fingerprint.
However, on this occasion I logged into Paypal via PC browser and was prompted to enable the new OneTouch.
I did not want it.
At the same time in the top right corner I was presented with a small pop-up asking me if I wanted to continue as Nathan using
Gmail (I believe) - so I clicked it and avoided clicking the OneTouch button. I was logged in and presented with the Account
Summary page as normal. FINE.
However, OneTouch did enable itself - I am not sure how this works but it said something about assoiciating itself with my
Gmail account.
I disabled OneTouch in the browser Paypal Security section.
Then on my iPhone app I opened Paypal and was not
asked for my fingerprint as usual. I was just logged straight in to account summary. This is not right, surely.
I tried disabling and renabling Touch ID in the Paypal app - no difference. So I deleted the app and reinstalled (now 7.18.2)
but it is exactly the same - I am never asked for a Fingerprint - Paypal just logs staight in.
If I choose to Log Out of the app and then log back in I am asked for the Password. If I then close the app and re-open it just
logs straight in to the Azzount Summary - no fingerprint required.
Does this sound normal? Has something fundamental changed?
If so this is complete stupidity. Now, if an iPhone is unlocked technically someone could open Paypal and withdraw/send money.
Am I missing something?
All my other apps function normally with my fingerprint and unlocking the iphone is normal too.
WTF!!! Support are useless too - they cannot understand English let alone this.
