Next Version of Android Will Let you Log into Apps with a Fingerprint – Report

According to a report from Buzzfeed, the next version of Android – Android M, will include native fingerprint authentication.

Report states that with fingerprint authentication, users will be able to log in to all of the supported applications on their Android devices without entering a password.

Google is expected to announce the feature at its annual Google I/O developer conference on May 28-29 in San Francisco.

iOS users with TouchID-equipped devices know all about the convenience of using a fingerprint instead of entering a password. Not only is it faster, but it’s also more secure.

In addition to replacing passwords, fingerprints can be used for mobile payments. Apple Pay has already proven to be a hit and Samsung Pay hopes to replicate the same success.
