TfL Oyster and contactless

Is an UK adress manditory.

There is no information that you need an UK residential address for signing up before you actually need to enter an address. Please state this on the app page in AppStore.

The app requires me to input my address when registering a contactless card. Every time I try to add it, the app says “Please complete your address details” even though it is completed and all the fields are filled out. I cannot get past this stage. It’s very disappointing.

Worst sign-up experience in the known universe. Using a password from a password manager results in the password being shown as correct but being declined at the last step, forcing you to start from the beginning. Adding a contactless card is completely broken on iPhone (too much unnecessary JavaScript magic going on in the web view). No password manager support there, not even any pasting allowed. Despite being updated recently, password policy still does not follow the NIST guidelines (get rid of the composition rules!)

I live in Norway. Not able to register since I don’t have a UK adress.

New cards added to the contactless website is not updated in the app Swiping left / right feels unresponsive App wrongly complains about missing internet connection

App is borderline useless, doesn’t show incomplete journeys, can’t add or remove cards, topping up oyster is tedious, the OTP window frequently resizes so you can’t even put in your email to validate. No idea how it has such high ratings, TFL probably paying for good reviews

Awkward

But you can’t top up now. It gets as far as “Confirm it’s you” (even though I have already used Face ID and entered a CVV) to verify the payment… and then it gets stuck. Utterly pointless security (is it really necessary to pass checks three times, especially with face recognition in place) m ans that this app is now pointless. I now have to withdraw cash and go to the shop to top up my Oyster card.
