Android pay

Hypothetically if someone were to steal my phone and figure out my pin, could they use Android pay with very little resistance? I've only used apple pay and my finger print is required to authorize the purchase.

If your Android Pay app is secured with a PIN, yes. Once the device or app is unlocked there's nothing stopping the holder of the phone from using it.

Use our fingerprint just like Apple pay.

I believe it's a concession to folks that have devices without fingerprint readers but have NFC (quite a few).
