My iPhone updated last night. It keeps asking me to set up Apple Pay.

I don’t know that I need it. What’s your experience?

1. If you've ever had a credit card cloned, a bank account "tapped" or your identity stolen...

I'd bet you would be very very reticent to "turn on any kind of autopay function on a phone that could be lost, stolen, cloned. Just my thoughts and for the record, I've had the first happen. It was a long extended holiday weekend from hell as a result, though my credit union was good to me and expedited getting things closed out and reestablished.

Plenty of Duers will probably tell you not to worry. So, take my 2 cents for just that.

Oh, and I don't save passwords on my phone for Paypal or Amazon because anyone who came upon it could theoretically wipe me out. (I simply enter the passwords manually each time).

2. I'm interested too. I just hit Cancel and do my thing.

11. Glad to hear it. I do, too, but have felt anxious, wondering if I'm wrong to ignore it. n/t

3. What could possibly go wrong?

[Croney]

4. I use it and like it.

I know the risks. Use your own judgment.

9. I use it too - safer than using your credit card

Apples set up is very secure.

5. I clicked to set it up, then closed it.

The message went away. Sorry, I don’t have experience with it.

6. Love it, myself

7. I just recently switched from a flip phone to an android based smart phone,

problem was, I couldn't figure how to operate the damn thing, I had to have my granddaughter show me how to operate it, and I still don't get it.

Seriously considering going back to my simple flip phone.

8. Love it.

The vendor does not get you CC info The charge is to your Apple account.

Sure, Apple might get hacked. But I see that as much less likely than the places I buy stuff from. The less people have my CC info the better.

10. Ignore it. I just have this nagging little reminder hanging on my iPhone. It's been there for months

...but I have no intention of getting my finances entangled with Apple.

12. Mine too. Can't get the notice to go away.
