What do you think about MasterCard's new payment option, "Selfie Payment" or on it's real marketed name Identity Check Mobile? Basically, you will be able to confirm and authorise any payments without using passwords or any digital calculator for special codes only with your face and your fingerprint. Amazing right?
What you will need in order to make this work?
First you have to download Mastercard app and take a selfie. This photo will be stored analyzed and then a digitalised version of your face will be stored on Mastercard's servers.
Then the photo will be used for future references whenever you will be making any purchases. As a security measure, in order to avoid fake identifications, the app will ask you to blink to prove that it's really you and not some static photo.
To be completely honest, I don't use MasterCard because in our area VISA is more popular but I really really tend to get one because I will reduce the amount of useless password that I have to remember.
And let's admit that it looks quite fancy.

By the time you have your Mastercard delivered to your door and set up with selfie payments you'll find Visa has just come out with it anyway LOL.
I like this idea, it will stop people being able to hack into your accounts so easily. Like Mike says I bet all phones and computers will also soon have retina or fingerprint scanning. Even in the little gym, in our tiny little town in the middle of nowhere, in a third world country, you access the gym with your fingerprint! I also only have Visa, so I won't have access to this for a while either. But really where one company goes with technology its big competitors and all the little guys are sure to follow suit in just a matter of time.
