This question already has an answer here:

Yes it does because

  1. I 'have' the physical device
  2. I 'am' the owner of the fingerprint

But no it doesn't because

1=>2 : If you have my device the fingerprint is now something you can get.

Which makes me unwilling to install banking or payment apps on my phone. I'd want a separate physical dongle. Access to a bank account would justify the cost of forging a fingerprint.

I would say no.

To quote StackOverflow:

Authentication is the process of ascertaining that somebody really is who he claims to be.

Only by posessing the phone I cannot be sure that you are who you claim to be.
