Android is getting a TouchID-style system of its own with Android M (http://www.engadget.com/2014/12/18/android-m-cars-rumor/), according toBuzzfeed's sources (http://www.buzzfeed.com/josephbernstein/google-adding-fingerprint-authentication-to-next-version-of#.rspJDQ897). Apparently it'll act a lot like the iOS tool (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/09/ios-8-3-breaks-touch-id-purchases/) too, bypassing passwords for associated apps in favor of reading your fingerprint. Given that I/O is practically right around the corner (next week! (http://www.engadget.com/2015/02/10/google-io-2015-date/)) it shouldn't be long before this all gets confirmed -- Google hasn't responded to our request for comment just yet.
