Google will begin testing password-free login to Android apps
Biometric authentication is a decrease in security for users, not an increase.<p>Biometric authentication can, as an additional factor, with proper management (which is non-trivial) be a benefit to security fire institutions that need to safeguard against sharing of credentials, but replacing other authors mechanisms with biometrics rather than augmenting them makes biometrics a net negative.<p>For some consumer uses they are an increase in convenience and may be a better security vs convenience balance, but that&#x27;s undermines if they are misrepresented as increased security, because then users will be choosing them on faulty premises.
