While security is going to be the #1 concern when it comes to whether or not we implement a specific feature -- especially one that's so intimately tied to security in the first place -- a close #2 is having tools to do it.

Similar to what we have today with facial recognition on Android, I remember when there were a few vendors rolling their own fingerprint support. It was a mess of proprietary hardware and software, which wasn't even consistent between devices by the same manufacturer. If Google hadn't come along with Nexus Imprint as a standard, we might have never supported fingerprint unlock on Android, because it wasn't possible to support fingerprint unlock on Android: it would have had to be done on a per-device basis, which is problematic for not only development, testing, and support, but also just researching the security, since that would need to be done for each -- and the individual vendors were also not very forthcoming with documentation like the white papers we see from Google and Apple regarding their implementations of these features.

So for now it's pretty much a no-go, but if Google builds an Android-native facial recognition standard that will be worth considering both from the perspective of development and adoption, but also because they're really good about being open about their security model. :)

In the mean time, fingerprint unlock is available on nearly all recent devices, and it's both secure and convenient:
