Nice! I personally would never use this feature. But I know someone who uses their Mondo for contactless only, because they ‘haven’t got round’ to finding out their PIN.
And access to PIN for those without a fingerprint reader or with certain medical conditions?
On a few apps other financial institutions require entry of the 3 digit security code on the back of your card to reveal the PIN.
Some display one number at a time (e.g. 1***, 2*, *3, ***4) and with others the whole PIN is displayed. I feel the latter is best as certain people will get confused when one number displayed at a time and end up transposing some of the initial digits.
My o2 app on my phone (android) is fingerprint protected. On the rare occasion where it fails, it just reverts to the android pass-code. I’m sure Monzo would have something similar, would be surprised if they relied on fingerprint only.
Is that really a sensible security process? I know that anyone with physical access to the card can use it anyway online but it makes it easier to clone a card if you can just get the PIN of the internet by typing few numbers into a website.
Ideally I would like to see the security code on the back of the card replaced with a two-factor authentication system where the app gives you the code to put on the website when making a transaction. (Discussed extensively on other posts). To then make the PIN available to anyone that can see the numbers on a card defeats the purpose of all this added security.
By all means, give us a secure in-app facility to retrieve our PIN. Please, do not link it to information on the card!
Opened the ap this morning and had a bit of a buzz around. Once again, was surprised at how intuitive this app is to use and used touch id before learning that this was part of the new update! Just a bit sad to have lost the way of finding my user number!
Agree. All functions should be available without TouchID. Particularly as people with certain dermatological conditions and working in certain industries are unable to use this technology even if available on their phone
Yes, for example parkinsons, or just the shakes.
Or personal choice, for example i would not use this function. I also do not know anyone who does use this function.
