apple pay on mac safari has recently started asking me to "double click touch id" rather than asking for my fingerprint id. what in the sam hill does that mean? I've tried various double-clicking, but nothing happens, so that I can't use apple pay when purchasing something in safari on my macbook air
MacBook Air (M4, 2025)
It’s possible it a website issue that the merchant will have to resolve. On your iPhone please follow this path,
iPhone > Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay > Apple Pay Defaults > Allow Payments on Mac > if enabled, try disabling setting and try the transaction again.
Is your keyboard an Apple keyboard or third party? Is the OS on your Mac up to date with the most current version?
It could also be the fact you’re on OS 18 and not OS 26.X.X Security requirements may want the latest OS version for your device.
Thank you, Jeff. If it happens again, I will try the "allow Payments on Mac" turning off then on.
This issue has happened on more than one website that used to work for me. (When I encounter the problem, I just pay another way.)
I am using a MacBook Air laptop with its own keyboard (no separate keyboard). I believe I am using the latest version of Sequoia (with the new MacOS available to me but not yet installed). I have automatic updates turned on.
