    Patent number: 11004074
    Abstract: A payment device includes a biometric sensor configured to receive a biometric measurement from a user. The payment device also includes a display configured to selectively display sensitive payment account information for a payment account of the user. The payment account is associated with the payment device. The payment device further includes a processor and instructions stored in non-transitory machine-readable media. The instructions are configured to cause the payment device to receive the biometric measurement from the biometric sensor. The user is authenticated if the biometric measurement matches a stored biometric of the user. Upon authenticating the user, the sensitive payment account information is displayed on the display. The sensitive payment account information is removed from the display a first predetermined time period after authenticating the user.
