Should I be required to use a PIN with an Apple Pay transaction?
Until recently, I've been using Apple Pay at a local merchant. Dozens of times, in fact. No muss, no fuss. Today, it changed. I was asked to put in my PIN. This has actually happened before. Until now, I just hit the enter key, without typing in my number, and the transaction continues. Today, however, when I hit enter, it cancelled the transaction. Now, I know there are quite a few moving parts here. I don't necessarily blame Apple for this. But it was my understanding that Apple Pay obviated the use of a PIN. Frankly, I suspect software writers for the terminals used in the store for adding the requirement. But before I go griping to the store company, I'd like to make sure of what I think I know. Can anyone shed some light on this subject? Thanks.
