Verizon disables the PayPal fingerprint payment function on the S5

Samsung may not be the first company to release a smartphone with a fingerprint sensor, but the decision to include PayPal support in the Galaxy S5 marked a potentially huge step forward for mobile payments. Verizon customers hoping to make use of the new feature may be out of luck though, according to a new report claiming the carrier has disabled PayPal support in the device. Droid-Life notes that when setting up the fingerprint sensor on a Verizon Galaxy S5, the option to allow biometric PayPal support is nowhere to be seen.
