Hilton HHonors Improves Fingerprint Authentication Support
If you are a member of Hilton HHonors and use their Android app, there is a nice update coming your way. The latest build of the app, version 2.9.3 for those keeping score, brings a handful of improvements but likely the one that will get everyone’s attention is the improvements around Fingerprint Authentication. For a while now the HHonors app has had fingerprint support but it was pretty much a one-and-done thing. Once you signed in, it kept you signed in and you never really had to authenticate again. Not very secure.
This update changes that. Now you can enable the feature and you can enable a secondary feature to indicate how often you want to be required to authenticate. You can choose to have it ask every time you fire up the app on your phone or after you have closed the app for 1 minute, 5 minutes or 10 minutes.
