Mastercard is working on a new app that provides extra security when buying things online.<br />But instead of just demanding a password, the app will offer to verify your identify with a selfie.<br />With selfie checks, users will have to blink for the camera to prevent against spoofing the system with a photo.<br />Alternatively, users will be able to verify themselves with a fingerprint, through systems like Apple’s Touch ID.<br />Mastercard says it will transmit this data in a way that can’t be stolen or used by scammers.<br />In most cases, online purchases don’t require extra verification, and simply entering credit card details is enough.<br />But on occasion, Mastercard may ask for a password when it suspects a fraudulent transaction.
