BEST TRICKS TO MAKE PAYTM USE SAFETY
Paytm safe? Will it expose my bank details or my phone number to any
potential stalker? These and similar more questions cross through our
mind while accessing Paytm..
The company recently identified nearly "48 fraudulent users in the
physical goods marketplace business, who were trying to game the
company's consumer friendly practices." Though Paytm has taken to a blog
to explain its safety features, there are few things which we ourselves
can do to stay safe when using Paytm. Here are such 4 tips:-
1. Use app password: Paytm recently rolled out an app password feature
for Paytm wallet. The features ensures that the money in wallet stays
safe even if one loses or misplaces the phone. To set up the password,
first set the Phone's default Android security password. Go to Phone's
Settings > Security > Screen Lock > Choose Screen Loc/ Pin/
Password/ Pattern or Fingerprint to protect the phone. Now open the
Paytm app & click on "Pay" or "Passbook". You will be prompted to
enable this optional feature. Now click on Add Security Feature. User
will be asked to reconfirm your Phone's Pin/Password/Pattern/Fingerprint
depending on what is selected as the default protection. Once
confirmed, the new App Password is now set.
2. If you are accepting a Paytm payment, do so through QR code. Quick Response Codes or QR codes are unique and encrypted.
3. Don't keep too much money in your wallet. There's no such thing as
unhackable. Every information you put on web is linked to one another
and hacking your Paytm wallet is no rocket science.
4. Don't save your card while recharging wallet: although little
inconvenient it is always better not to save the card info while a
transaction.
