Paying for stuff with your Wear OS smartwatch might be about to get a lot more annoying. Google Wallet, which has been going through some changes, could soon ask users to verify transactions with a PIN every time they try to make a tap-to-pay transaction.
Recently Wallet added extra verification to transit payments, which was designed to make the process more secure without sacrificing any convenience in the process. Unfortunately Google Wallet then decided it was going to reset the verification clock every 3 minutes, regardless of what your phone is doing. Now it looks like this same annoying system could come to Wear OS as well.
