Wear an NFC ring on your finger.

Unlike your palmprint, you can get a new ring with a new private key if yours is compromised.

It all boils down to the tradeoff between convenience and security. I don't think it is particularly easy to replicate a living hand with all the blood vessels. And it is not particularly easy to get a NFC ring with a secure element compatible with payment terminals.

I thought that the engineering team at Amazon did a great job with Amazon One. I wish someone could pick up the tech and carry on.
