Samsung Pay app can now be downloaded from Google Play

You can now download the Samsung Pay app from Google Play. Samsung's devices already had the app through firmware updates, but its Google Play arrival should mean updates will come through with no issue.

I did it this morning. EZ. Samsung Pay on Verizon Note 5 accepted Delta Air AMEX and US Bank Visa. Would NOT accept PNC debit card with VISA logo. ISSUE: I prefer using swipe password to unlock my phone. Am I doing something wrong? With Samsung Pay it SEEMS it forces fingerprint unlock as ONLY way I can unlock my entire phone; not just using Samsung Pay. It did ask for a Samsung ID unlock code which I never setup other than USUAL screen unlock backup password. It would not let me setup a Samsung unlock ID. Am I missing something?

Oops ... I'm all set. Previouly skipped the Samsung ID step in my excitement. Nowe I don't have to use the fingerprint ID. YAY!
