Originally Published 1 year ago — by Forbes
Google is sending emails to Android users about upcoming changes to the security settings for purchase verification on mobile devices, including the option to use biometrics for verification. This change aims to enhance the security of Google Play purchases, but users are warned to use caution if storing biometrics of children or others on their devices. The new security settings for Google Wallet will also require biometric verification for every purchase, similar to Apple's authentication process for Apple Pay.
