To protect the security of WeChat and Alipay, you need to know these three functions, the sooner the better!

"Chinese-style payment" is leading the global consumer payment trend, profoundly changing people's lives and transaction methods. Transactions have become more convenient and faster, and the efficiency of economic operations has been greatly improved.

Looking back over the past five to ten years, the rapid growth of mobile payments has become a unique landscape in China's economic development. The launch of smartphones has laid the hardware foundation for the development of mobile Internet. Mobile payments represented by WeChat Pay have begun to rise offline, and various scenarios based on mobile payments have also emerged. In order to facilitate user payments, WeChat and other platforms have also opened up important functions such as "small amount non-password payment", but this has also given bad merchants or speculators an opportunity to take advantage of various loopholes to steal wallets, etc., so how to protect your WeChat wallet is particularly important.

Gesture password

Gesture password is a feature of WeChat 6.0 and above, which is mainly used to protect the security of wallet services. When you enter the "Wallet" after turning on the gesture password, WeChat will verify the gesture password. After verifying the gesture password, you do not need to verify again within 5 minutes when entering and exiting the wallet. This can enhance account security. More importantly, if your account is hacked, you don't have to worry about it being stolen by a third party, so this feature is extremely practical for the majority of WeChat users. Operation details: [Me] - [Wallet] - [Option icon in the upper right corner] - [Payment security] - [Wallet lock] - [Gesture password unlock]

Fingerprint payment

For smartphone users, WeChat fingerprint payment eliminates the embarrassment and potential danger of entering passwords in public. On June 8, 2015, WeChat version 6.2 launched the "Fingerprint Payment" function. After users activate this function, they can enter the payment process after placing an order. According to the interface prompts, they can place their fingers on the fingerprint recognition area of ​​the phone to achieve "instant payment". There is no need to enter a password during the entire payment process. Operation details: [Me] - [Wallet] - [Option icon in the upper right corner] - [Payment management] - [Fingerprint payment] - [Verify fingerprint] - [Activate successfully]
