Android Identity Check will secure your phone from even a stolen PIN
Google's giving Android users an extra tool to keep their phones safe with the mandatory biometric security of Identity Check.

Biometrics can fuck right off too
I just want the hybrid functionality of
long password for first boot + pin for unlock.
Why is this still not a thing, its the ultimate secure combo. Paired with autoreboot after no unlock for X hours its perfect. Fingerprint for unlock is just fundamentally shit.
This is copying a similar feature Apple added a while back.
Given androids hardware situation and love for collecting all the data l, I understand why people don't want to give biometrics to their Android devices.
With the data and access our smartphones have, a numerical pin regardless of length, should not be an option anymore.
I am surprised that neither platform is allowing voice authentication as a biometric. I'm not sure if Google supports it but Siri can already tell who is speaking.
