In an effort to boost adoption of Google Wallet, Google this week added features to the service that allow users to send money as a Gmail attachment. The company is also trying to simplify the mobile payment process for consumers and businesses. As a way to market the new features, Google Wallet payments via Gmail are being seeded out virally through an invite-by-payment activity. Google Wallet integration into email is one of the more significant developments for the digital payment service.
I feel like this is just opening up doors for hackers. If someone loses their password, they could lose a lot of money. I think it's better to have the gmail and google wallet seperate. Therefore, if someone steals your google wallet password, you can still recover it through gmail. However, if you lose both, you could be in serious trouble.
