    Great Mastercard and JP Morgan making it easier for someone to rob you. Imagine them taking your pic and using it to make payments. This dystopia.

      I suppose there is a security system to prevent just presenting a pic to the cam. But I agree that we shouldn’t trust it.

      In any case, biometrics are bad to authenticate people. What’s the point of a key you can’t replace/change…

        What happens if you get haircut or get zits etc? So much could make this not work. You know amount customers I have turn away because they come in wanting to use their phone to tap to pay.

        Like come on people it’s a cool feature but why not carry your card for backup? Not every store except those.
