The latest Google Wallet update tests a new Tap to pay verification setting, allowing users to choose to verify their identity before each contactless payment. The option appears in Google Wallet version 26.43.1009867093, but the related code is still in development and may not be publicly released; currently, users can make consecutive payments without verifying each time after completing verification within a few minutes.
