Is Apple Pay secure?

iPhone and iPad – Payments can only be authorised by using Touch ID (if it is enabled), or by entering the device passcode.
Apple Watch – Payments can only be authorised if the device passcode has been entered and skin contact with the device has not been lost.

Please note: you should never share your device passcode, or register more than one person’s fingerprint to Touch ID, while your card is registered to Apple Pay.
