I know, don't remind me, it sucks, good thing I'm incognito all the time.

I wonder how this handles HIPPA compliance. Bluetooth is terrible security.

No, I'm the same way. I'll be 51 next month and everything I own is paid for. Also, I pay cash for all my purchases. I do have a couple of accounts that I can deposit $$ in - (if I had to), but that is rare. Pay all my insurances up front and keep life simple.

My understanding is they are making it so it locks on whatever you choose, and you "punch in" a code to make it unlock.
Beginning to sound like a pain already. Also they say they will make it so that the last card you selected can be used without the phone active, but that's not happening yet. You still need YOUR phone with you AND functioning, to make it work.

If it loses the link to your phone for more than 15 minutes then it's deactivated as a security precaution. So if you walk out of the place with your phone and not your card, the card is no good. But what if your battery dies?
