I use fingerprint authentication for my phone on The Daily, I will never use this feature. Strictly because the fact that fingerprint sensing is so inconsistent and any type of change to the phone screen requires you to completely redo your fingerprints. Not to mention any type of substance on your hand suddenly makes you unable to use the phone, just when swimming for a half hour enjoy not accessing your phone just took a shower yep you’re going to wait an hour before using your phone.

Fingerprint authentication is super handy and I do like it, but I would never enable A system that required the fingerprint in order to pass the login

How much you want to bet that this is not going to be a feature in AOSP, but will only be on the Google versions of Android.

Biometrics are passwords you can’t change. Depends on the implementation and hashing, but the digitization of your body is still just a complex number that maths through the ALU in a compare registers operation. That number can be replicated on some level, but you cannot change that number if it is lost.

Can we have passwords longer than 16 characters ffs?

I mean, the optical fingerprint sensors they’ve been using on the Pixels are absolutely garbage, so I will never use this feature.
