I can't remember when I last used a physical card.

I've given up using my phone to pay. Every time, it asks me to unlock wallet to use it (3 times within an hour recently) so I've reverted to using the card. Google wallet is a waste of space for me.

Doesn't get around the annoyance of not telling you it needs unlocking until you've tried it once and you can't unlock it beforehand. It's quicker keeping the card in the phone case and swiping that. One action instead of two.

Get an iPhone instead then.

Lift phone towards face, double click the side button, select the card you want to use (if it isn't the default) and it automatically redoes FaceID before you've had a chance to even rect.

My Pixel phone can do exactly that.

I'm not sure what phone you are using but on all the android phones I've had, so long as the phone is unlocked then you can pay.      When I'm waiting for the cashier to put the goods through, I unlock my phone ready and then about 20 seconds later when the cashier has finished I put my phone to the pad and it pays.   It's incredibly easy and quick.

It should only ask to re-verify if the phone has been unlocked for more than three minutes.

Hmmm, maybe extra security in the Moto devices.

I have a Moto G13 and that requires to unlock the phone and then to unlock the wallet to make a payment.  Same as all my previous Moto G-series phones before.  Sometimes, it will ask for a pin-unlock in addition to the biometrics unlock (which has to be done twice).  It is really rather frustrating that I rarely bother with pay by phone.
