Is Anyone Aware of Why Walmart Requires Face ID to Look at Products for a Local Store?
?️ DISCUSSION ?
Just tried to see a product that Walmart has available, and when I click the link they require a long press to look at the product on their web store & in the app.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Are any other big tech/shops doing this?
Google keeps asking me to verify that I still own this number. Has anybody ne else experienced that?
"I click the link they require a long press"
Sorry, but what does that mean? Do you mean login?
Even to simply see their website that day I was forced to press on a loading bar image (long press) and I continually pointed. Y front facing camera towards my ceiling. I figured they couldn't be trying to "authenticate" with a fingerprint since my screen doesn't have that tech as far as I am aware, but this device does allow me to login with facial recognition if I wanted.
It was weird. I cannot for the life of me replicate it. I posted a reply where I am considering it a corporate hack.
That is SO fucking weird.......... I wonder what on earth could have prompted that to happen. No wonder you were creeped out!
I would highly recommend you get a good VPN if you don't have one already, use a secure browser and double down on phone security just to be safe.
Using a paid one, not certain which ones are best.
I almost exclusively use Brave Browser & for every account that allows it I do 2 factor authentication to prevent hacks without being notified.
Is there anything else you would suggest, or where I can learn more about security?
