[ SECURITY IMPROVMENT REQUEST ] - Garmin Pay should ask PIN code again in a shorter delay once a payment is completed!

Hello Garmin,

> I'm using Garmin Pay almost dayly and I noticed something strange...and not very secure!

When I need to pay in a store, I enter my PIN in order to grant access to my credit cards.
Then, I thought that my Garmin pay function would have locked again automatically a few minutes after payment but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I noticed that the payment function remains unlocked even after many hours....

> REQUEST: Could it be possible to make the watch ask again for the pin code in a shorter delay (like 5mins) in order to protect the Garmin Pay function and avoid unauthorized payments in case of theft?

Regards.

    Hello,

    The passcode is required once a day while wearing the watch and each time when the watch is detected off of the wrist. If the watch is not properly fitted on your wrist it may detect that it is off the wrist even if you wear it all day.

    This should prevent unauthorized payments in case of theft.

    Can you confirm that there is no risk of unauthorized payment as long as the screen does not display the credit card despite the fact that the pin code was entered previously?
