You do know screenshots exist
Also don't do mobile banking
App doesn't allow screenshots or screen sharing as part of the security features
Many times that's simply impossible depending on the bank, and it's wholly inconvenient for most people. Security wise, it also depends on way too many variables, so you can't just tell people to not do it and don't elaborate further.
They there is little room to complain about the app. If you willing make yourself dependent on an app you might be out of luck.
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if screenshots are disabled in that app considering the rest, to "stop leaking sensitive information".
When it allow screenshotting
As opposed to what?
Anything else
You want us to yell out our credit card details over the phone like the good old days?
You could use card or cash like a normal person
I don't think normal people use cash over the phone. I think you're thinking Star trek teleporters?
Why would you pay over the phone? Maybe I'm missing something but you can enter your card info or you can go in person and pay.
At least that's what I do personally. I've always found mobile phone based payments problematic. However, if there is ever some sort of Foss payment system I'm ready to give it go. (Taler)
Is it that common to pay over the phone? Do you give them some sort of code? How does that work?
Online shopping.
How do you use mobile payment apps for online shopping?
Is some sort of digital credit card?
You can check card info and see if your order went through, get notifications and etc.
Why are you ordering stuff over a phone call and what does a smartphone app have anything to do with it lol
If you mean ordering from a phone shopping app, 1) you can just enter credit card details into the app, you don't need your bank's software, 2) you can just use a website on a computer
If the app is so paranoid that it refuses to work after detecting a different keyboard, I should be surprised if it allowed screenshots.
