Yesterday I was buying a game for my kids to play on our Nintendo Switch. To pay $60 via PayPal I had to scan a QR code from the screen, sign into my Nintendo account on my phone, choose all the pictures of buses, missed one, then had to do motorcycles, enter a 2FA code on the Switch, then finally login to PayPal using a different 2FA code, and then go through another couple of confirmation steps to actually send the payment.
Now hear me out…that first QR code could have been the payment itself.
yeah, crazy how normied don't see this.
