iOS 17 changed my banking features
Last night, around 11pm EST, I went to update my iPad. After the successful update, I wanted to access my Capital One (C1) account. It includes my checking account and few credit cards. I couldn’t get through. Each time I was prompted to the verification page at C1, asking for my phone number to receive a code. Each time it didn’t go through, with same message “We hit a snag. Please try later”. Today same thing. I called the C1, explained that I can’t access my account, and been told it was because I have reached the maximum amount of attempts, precisely, a maximum amount of codes sent by C1. Strange, because I never ever - in order to access my account- had to receive a code first. Touch ID and voilà. I have never opted for the verification code option. Furthermore, to make the situation more complicated, the C1 rep, Stephanie, told me that I need to wait 24 hours from the last attempt and then to try again. I asked her why wait, why not fix it now. No, we can’t do anything, she said, and added that she can’t pull out my account or do troubleshooting until after 24 hours from the last trying, which will be tomorrow around 12:18pm. On the end of our conversation, she askd me if I changed anything before last night. I said nothing…except for the update. And then we both agreed that that’s why. All this means that the Apple update, iOS #17 made a change to my Capital One account. No need to say it was without my authorization and without my knowledge.
