Google has announced a new update to provide great convenience for Play Store users.
If you use the Play Store frequently, you can use biometric verification for your purchases after this update. So, no more remembering and entering your password!
We can say that Google changed to improve the user experience further.
Biometric verification for purchases coming to Google Play Store
Google’s biometric verification feature, which has been available for about 10 years, allows users to make purchases using biometric data such as fingerprints or facial recognition. At the same time, people who did this were also asked to enter their passwords. The new update officially eliminates this problem.
The new change will speed up the shopping experience, especially for users who are passionate about shopping. It will also be very practical for users switching to a new device.
What is biometric verification?
Biometric authentication is a technology used to verify the identity of individuals using their physical or behavioral characteristics.
Authentication methods include fingerprint, facial recognition, iris recognition, hand geometry, voice recognition, and vein recognition.
For example, fingerprint scanners perform authentication by reading an individual’s fingerprint. Facial recognition systems provide authentication by analyzing the unique features of an individual’s face. Biometric characteristics are typically stored in a database and later used for recognition or verification.
Biometric verification technology is used to increase security and prevent identity theft. Especially in digital platforms and physical access control, this technology allows users to verify their identity reliably.
Google is expected to release this update soon, so users will start experiencing this feature. Change is just one of Google Play Store’s steps towards becoming a user-friendly platform. Such updates to make users’ shopping experience safer and more user-friendly have an important place in the world of technology.
