Apple pay has been disabled error in macOS

[mystic knoll]

I have been seeing this error for quite a while now. Today, I tried to resolve it by myself. After a bit of Google searching, I found multiple troubleshooting methods, but none of them worked. Here are the methods I have tried so far:

• Went to recovery mode and checked the security settings
• Created a second user account, added Apple Pay there, and then tried adding it back to my original user account
  P.S. I have not reduced the security of my macOS at all.

I would really appreciate any help fixing this. Thank you very much.

Did you disable the security settings recently ?

See if this helps

[mystic knoll]

No I haven't. As you can see in the screenshot of the terminal everything is enabled.

[mystic knoll]

Thank you but, it didn't work

Hm

I’ve never seen that error ever

You may need to contact Apple Support

For that.

[mystic knoll]

Yeah, I am thinking that as well. I have a speculation though! This user account is transferred from an old mac years ago! Maybe something got broken!

[kind axle]

Possibly

You can try doing the following:

1. Sign out of iCloud and sign back in

2. Reset Keychain
   Go to Applications > Utilities and open Keychain Access. Select Keychain in the top left and choose Reset My Default Keychains from the Edit menu.

3. Update macOS
   If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to contact Apple Support for further assistance as there could be an account-specific issue preventing Apple Pay from being added successfully. Just like what you said

Let me know if you have any other questions!

You have 0 questions remaining for the next 24 hours.

After a 3 hours call with Apple support nothing happened. I have given up on this! LOL

I will try to reset the whole macOS and start from fresh someday in future. But not anytime soon!

I have run into this exact issue before on my Mac, you can still use Apple Pay on your Mac, it will just ask for verification from your iPhone instead (if you have one)

oh I had something like this a couple years ago. Had something to do with the T2 chip as I remember, and having the Wallet configured by a different user or something like that.

[mystic knoll]

Yeah, I have been doing that since I move to a country where apple pay works. I always get a notification on my phone to validate the apple pay purchase. Also, apple pay works fine on my watch, phone and pad. It's just the mac that's broken.

[dusky hamlet]

I haven’t found a fix for it yet, but for now, and probably for the foreseeable future, this is working fine

[mystic knoll]

Yeah I tried that as well. I stops working as soon as I delete the other user or reboot my old user.

[mystic knoll]

Is your user account new or did you migrate it from an old mac?

[dusky hamlet]

New, but I’ve been using the Mac for about 3 years

[mystic knoll]

ahh, then I am not going to do a reset anytime soon

my account like have experienced 3 macs LOL

it's like almost 7+ years old

💀

[dusky hamlet]

Crazy

[mystic knoll]

i think it's time I do a purge

soon

[lost stratus]

intel or apple silicon? if intel, have you reset the SMC?

[mystic knoll]

Unfortunately it is apple silicon!

[mystic knoll]

Ladies and Gentleman, after going through a lot of pain after a full reset of macOS and a fresh user account (No time machine backup restored)!

I can say that this issue is resolved.

I don't know if I should be happy! The pain is real!

Also now My user account is 1 day old (from approx 7 years) LOL

Thank you very much everyone for the support.
