You are making yourself a target to gain a minuscule amount of convenience.

Please don't take this the wrong way. I live where that stuff doesn't really happen and I pay a lot to live this way. My phone has likely been hacked and/or cloned at least 2-3 times, that's the real danger, for me, and it's likely happened multiple times already and nothing I can do. There's nothing any of us can do to avoid theft/hack. If someone's determined they're gonna get what they want regardless, right?

I'm less likely to get jacked by a thief that will cut off all my fingers to get the right one on my print scan than I am one that wants cash or credit cards right?

Besides, to pay by SamsungPay you have to do the print scan within seconds to activate the NCF signal which also only stays on for a few seconds. So this crook would have to carry my bloody dead finger everywhere on his shopping spree.

Also, my SamsungPay app has a constant tracking of my pulse & heart rate with live DNA sampling, once I'm dead SamsungPay deactivates & wipes my phone. So...
