Google's Hands Free payment ambitions aren't exactly secret — the company first spoke about it in front of developers and enthusiasts at last year's I/O conference. Here's how Google envisions the Hands Free process working. After installing the Hands Free app for Android or iOS, you'll add a photo of yourself for identification and either add a credit/debit card or choose one that's attached to your Google account. (That's right, this is totally separate from Android Pay.) Once that's all done and you've rendezvoused with a cashier, mention you're paying with Google — the app uses Bluetooth LE and WiFi (among other things) to tell whether you're in a store equipped for Hands Free payments and passes your information along to the cashier's point-of-sale system. The cashier confirms you are who you say you are using that photo and your initials, and that's that. Payment complete.

It's again a payment option. Not interested then.
