I thought Klarna was quite popular in Germany. Never used it though.

1Password (or even plain Keychain) can auto-complete all your debit/credit card numbers. But yes - I prefer not to type it in. For security reasons I am only entering cards directly if the website is using a bank payment gateway. Otherwise I am just generating a random one-use debit card through my bank app.
Also when my credit card number changes because my bank randomly decides I'm at risk for fraud I have to login to every service and enter my new CC.
In 10 year of Paypal usage I have never once had an issue with my account being locked. Yes there are some cases here and there of people, but personally I didn't have that problem and I just it a lot also for Craigslist etc. Never an issue. I didn't even have to contact Paypal support once.
And since it's very popular in germany almost everyone online has to support it or they are losing business.

Not Germany, but here in The Netherlands the banks just developed an online payment system together 18 years ago, and everyone uses that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDEAL
Every time I need to send mail I’m jealous of that whole “write 9 digits in a grid to serve as a stamp” system.
