Title: How Google took a page from Apple to secure Android Pay Post by: HCK on May 31, 2015, 09:00:13 am How Google took a page from Apple to secure Android Pay
<article> <section class="page"> <p>In case you missed it, Google launched a new mobile payment service at its annual I/O developers conference Thursday. It’s called Android Pay (http://www.greenbot.com/article/2927461/googles-android-pay-is-what-google-wallet-should-have-been.html). But didn’t Google already have a mobile payment service? Yes, yes, Google Wallet. That’s not going away—in fact, it’s getting a reboot as a peer-to-peer payment service—but Android Pay works a lot more like Apple Pay (http://www.macworld.com/article/2834669/the-ultimate-guide-on-how-and-where-to-use-apple-pay.html) than Google’s last attempt.</p><p>That’s a good thing. Google Wallet required you to wake your phone, open the Wallet app, and enter a pin number if you decided to protect the app with a passcode, all before waving your phone near the payment terminal. That’s a lot of work.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2927428/how-google-took-a-page-from-apple-to-secure-android-pay.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: How Google took a page from Apple to secure Android Pay (http://www.macworld.com/article/2927428/how-google-took-a-page-from-apple-to-secure-android-pay.html#tk.rss_all) |
