Google intends to use your biometrics data including typing patterns, your current location, and more to strengthen your authentication, reports Hackernews.
Features include the ability to unlock when it recognises a trusted GPS location, or when your device’s camera recognises the user’s facial characteristics.
The collected data then helps the API formulate a “Trust score” which will let you authenticate without being prompted for a password.
The new Trust API will be available to Android developers by the end of 2016 and is currently undergoing tests at “very large financial institutions”.
How do you feel about this planned “trust system”? Let us know in the comments below and in our forums.
