My wild guess: Is everyone now just using apps for every single little thing? So now using the mobile site is considered “fraud behavior” and using apps is “normal”? Like is this what their “fraud detection system” do now?
Like the same card works when you order it at the counter in store… why did the site reject it? it literally worked before on that same site…
Tries a bunch of different cards, also declines…
But those same cards do work on other sites…
Like…
I feel like when you
- Use their app
and - Create an account
you’re less likely to face problems…
But using mobile website + guest checkout is very likely to get flagged for some stupid reason…
No, but only because I do not use apps, so do not have a reference to compare with. If I can’t do it on your website, I don’t do it.
If I can’t do it on your website, I don’t do it.
I guess you’re not gonna ever file for unemployment…
(ID.me has joined the chat)
Oh funny thing. My dad, a citizen of China, had to renew passport and China now forces you to use their app to do the renew… lol
Comming soon to the west… ETA 2026
ID.me is super painful, but you can verify yourself without a smartphone or any apps. I’ve done it.
oh?
I think they make you do a video call for “random” “additional verification” because it got flagged or something and the web thing is broken…
Yeah, I did the video call on a desktop PC.
Clothing sites nearly always make my phone (iPhone 13) run hot after a few minutes of browsing. Often the phone as a whole will start to get really slow (thermal throttling?) and I have to force quit the browser and maybe even restart iOS.
I have a 13 Mini and even Lemmy makes that happen sometimes but it’s gotten way worse for me since the update to iOS 26.
I agree completely! So many sites have forced me to download an app to accomplish what I need!
The amount of sites claiming there’s suspicious traffic coming from my IP is getting ridiculous
Grubhub’s website seems intentionally unusable. Slow, constant errors, randomly logs me out, etc.
First Covid happened and I noticed every piece of tech started getting bad updates.
Then AI happened and things got worse…
