ANU #73 — Security and Wallet UI Updates
Welcome to the AppCoins News Update, ‘ANU’ for short. This week, we’re focusing on upgrades to our billing system, Wallet UI, and much more!
Latest Release
During our last two weeks of development we’ve released a new version of the AppCoins Wallet with some small developments, but relevant ones, improving both UI and security.
Billing Address
When it comes to our ecosystem security, we always want to make sure that our users and our developers feel safe. With that in mind, our team added another security layer to the purchase flow by including a billing address. This is a common step when paying with a credit card, and it’s another form of ensuring a safe transaction. This feature will only apply to users from specific countries. By adding this update, our team aims to tackle potential fraudulent behavior in countries that don’t support the 3D Secure protocol.
New Verification Status Indicator
While the security of our platform/products is our main concern, delivering the best quality in our UI is a close second. With that being said, we recently rearranged the home screen in the Wallet app, so that all of the features are visible (even in smaller devices).
Upcoming Releases
But our team’s work doesn’t stop there! We’re always looking to add new improvements and features to our products.
Fingerprint Authentication
At the moment, we are developing a feature that has been on our minds for quite some time. We know our users’ wallets have valuable funds, so we want them to feel safe when their device is unlocked. A simpler way to ensure safety is by requesting a fingerprint to unlock the wallet (something many of us already use to access our smartphone). For those who wish to activate this feature, the AppCoins Wallet app will start to ask for your fingerprint authentication to enter or delete your wallet. This is a great tool to ensure that there are no ill-intentions when trying to remove a wallet, especially if you don’t have a backup.
Revert Transactions
Our ecosystem is growing, and part of having a purchase platform is that sometimes transactions need to be reverted/refunded. Our team is already working on a layout that will display reverted transactions, which will include stats like the original transaction and its date, the amount, and the currency. We hope to have this feature launched very soon. Stay tuned!
