The problem has recurred this morning so the fix is certainly temporary, if it works at all. Like others, I submitted an online help form to Fairphone e. However, I have had no respomse so far, and no response on this forum either. Come on Fairphone, where are you?

That works! Thank you
All kudos should go to Chris since it was his idea to clear the cache.
@Chris_R did you get any feedback from support?
Unfortunately for me clearing cache and data did not work at all. I also tried to factory reset as Google help recommended but without success.
I thought that it could be caused by deactivating some pre-installed Google apps but that changed nothing. For now I’m considering some alternatives that do not rely on Google like Garmin pay for example.
Same here. Unfortunately, Google Pay seems to be the only provider which enables me to use PayPal. My bank (Triodos) is not supported by other payment apps / providers.
I think, this is not a Google Pay issue. As stated before, Safeteynet Test fails “CTS Profile match”… This also affects other Apps… Netflix disappeared from the Playstore for me. Pokemon Go should also not be able to run.
This is a major issue imho…

Yeah, I get a failed CTS profile match as well. This happened completely out of the blue…
Make sure you’re logging any and all issues with support that way they know the impact and we can hopefully get a swift response

Could be. My initial wild guess was the Let’s Encrypt bug which got uncovered. But that’d explain the reset happening once, and I’m not sure Google uses LE, and I’m not sure the dates add up either.

Has anyone ever had the bootloader unlocked? I haven’t to my knowledge, but I have had developer options enabled, and may have had usb debugging enabled at one point (but can’t remember), although none are enabled now.
