I have two iPhones, a 7 (which I do not keep with me) and a 12. On the MacBook Pro, I tried to use ApplePay. It said I had to confirm the deal on the iPhone 7. How can I tell ApplePay to confirm things on the other phone, the 12?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.6
Aha! Thanks, Jeff. That clue led me down a rabbit hole which led me to Check your Apple Account device list to find where you’re signed in – Apple Support (UK) . From there, I found that I could show all the devices that my Apple ID/Account lists, and delete that one.

No, just the one. No, all of the devices are mine personally. I eventually did the purchase on my iPhone 12 instead of the Mac, and it worked fine. But there must be some way to tell ApplePay which iPhone to use for confirmation. What if I had sold the iPhone 7? (Hopefully, wiping its memory before selling it would take care of that, but maybe not.)
I’m so glad you were able to run with it after I pointed you in the right direction. 😀
I can’t see what you’re seeing and the back and forth gets frustrating after a short time. It’s great you were able to resolve this issue to your satisfaction.
Do you use multiple Apple ID’s? Are any of the devices a managed device ie issued by an employer or school?
Does your MBP not have a fingerprint reader ?
Yes, it does.
I only asked because I’m still not quite sure why transactions need to be completed on your iPhone ???
I routinely complete ApplePay transactions entirely from my MBP.
Apple Pay wants confirmation on the wrong iPhone
