How to use your iOS 8 mobile phone camera to enter your credit card details

We've all experienced this: when we want to make a purchase or payment on our mobile phone with our credit card that isn't linked to any website, we have to enter the data one by one, which can be slow, especially if we do this process frequently to avoid saving our data.

Security in online shopping is very important, not only because of the policies of the platform we use, but also because we users are responsible for protecting this information and our data.

What we will see next is how to use the camera of our iOS 8 terminal to automatically enter or retrieve information from our card.

First, we need to go to Safari settings and tap " Passwords & Autofill, " and then enable the " Saved Credit Cards " option, which will ask you to enter your mobile password.

Now press “ Add credit card ” and you will see a gray-white frame indicating the correct position for the card to be scanned. Once the device captures the number, it will vibrate and in some cases may even capture the expiration date; otherwise, you can enter it manually. For security reasons, the security code information is not stored.

When you access a website via mobile to make a purchase using Safari, you will see the " Autofill credit card " option to use the card you have saved on your mobile and you will only have to enter your card's security code.
