Google Wallet increases security by mandating a device unlock
By MYBRANDBOOK
Users of Google Wallet must now unlock their devices in order to complete any tap-to-pay transaction, as part of a revised verification process. Previously, these kinds of transactions could take place without authentication. "Your credit and debit card won't be charged for retail payments unless you've recently used a verification method, like your fingerprint or PIN," the website said.
Users have noticed a time gap between unlocking their device and being prompted to re-authenticate. It has been reported that Google Wallet requested re-authentication just three minutes after they initially unlocked their phone using a fingerprint. The latest change has led to mixed reactions and confusion among users due to the increased frequency of authentication prompts.
A new security message was spotted on Google Wallet stating "For your security, you need to verify it's you before paying." Though this message was only observed on the Pixel 8 and was not found on two other Pixel devices tested under similar conditions. This suggests that Google might still be testing the feature or has yet to implement it broadly.
