I dont know why they're making fingerprint a big deal. It's actually a bad thing.
It's cool if you're 10 and just watched a sci-fi movie sure but ultimately should be phased out of android/Linux.
Why should it be phased out?
Its completely optional.
I like unlocking things with my fingerprint. But I go by the assumption that the technical fingerprints of my fingerprint are stored securely and aren't even accessible by the OS.
"Arguably a bad thing" rather. It's better than face unlock for what it's worth.
