For SpaceNut ... we have topics with "computer" in the title, but none with the word "security" included...
This topic is available for NewMars members who might want to report on or comment about security measures that are required in the computer age.
The topic will open with a report of a new policy by Google Play.
However, computer security is an endless game, because there are thousands if not millions of human beings alive on Earth today, employed or self-employed in an effort to hack into legitimate business, government or personal sites.

Post #3: Google Play policy to offer biometrics

Received via email:
Hi tahanson43206,
On Google Play, you can set biometrics (fingerprint or face) as your purchase verification method on mobile devices that have biometric capability. If you set biometrics, it means you’ll be asked to verify it’s you with biometrics each time you make a purchase through Google Play.
In the coming weeks, there will be a change in how you confirm your setting when you choose biometric verification. For mobile devices, when you’re asked to confirm this setting, you’ll use your fingerprint or face instead of your Google Account password.
To keep your account secure, turn on purchase verification for every purchase. Avoid sharing passwords with others. If you use biometrics for purchase verification, use caution in storing biometrics of children or others on your device, as those could be used for purchase verification. Learn more about purchase verification.
Should you have any questions please visit our Help Center or get in touch.
Thank you for using Google Play!
