> especially when phones have secure enclaves for private key storage

Can you convince the powers that be to allow rooted phones to store card credentials?

It's already used for Apple Pay so...yes? And:

Even if it's not a perfect solution, it's better than handing full account credentials to every online merchant I use. A dedicated FIDO fob would be even better but the phone is something most people already have.

Google Pay refuses to work on rooted devices unfortunately.
