Google will update the Play Store by very slightly modifying the purchase validation system. It becomes more convenient to configure and should encourage users to take the plunge.
From hundreds of millions of applications proposed by the Google Play Store, some are chargeable. Whether it’s a fixed price, a subscription, or even a free app offering in-house purchases, sometimes you have to checkout. It is of course possible to pay directly from the application store by registering a payment methodmost often a Bank card or an account PayPal.
In order to avoid fraudulent spending, or someone close to you from overdoing it, as this mother on the Apple side noticed, it is possible to activate the Validation of purchases in the Play Store settings. A simple way to secure payments that Google obviously wants to push by making it easier to configure.
Google slightly modifies the purchase validation system with a good idea
In a message received by some users, Google reminds that “You can set biometrics (fingerprint or face) as a purchase verification method on mobile devices with biometric capabilities. If you set biometrics, this means you will be asked to verify your identity every time you make a purchase through Google Play“. What will change is how you will confirm the implementation of biometric verification. Until now, you need to enter your Google account password. This will soon no longer be the only possible option.

So, “In the coming weeks, there will be a change to how you confirm your settings when choosing biometric verification. For mobile devices, when asked to confirm this setting, you will use your fingerprint or face instead of your Google account password“. So this is a minor modification, but very practical. She should get more people to use purchase verificationespecially those who never remember their Google password or who have switched to passwords.
