F'nn Google coming for your biometrics with force

Any Google user likely got the same message about updated Google Play terms.

Hi TS_Tiger,
On Google Play, you can set biometrics (fingerprint or face) as your purchase verification method on mobile devices that have biometric capability. If you set biometrics, it means you’ll be asked to verify it’s you with biometrics each time you make a purchase through Google Play.
In the coming weeks, there will be a change in how you confirm your setting when you choose biometric verification. For mobile devices, when you’re asked to confirm this setting, you’ll use your fingerprint or face instead of your Google Account password.
To keep your account secure, turn on purchase verification for every purchase. Avoid sharing passwords with others. If you use biometrics for purchase verification, use caution in storing biometrics of children or others on your device, as those could be used for purchase verification. Learn more about purchase verification.
Should you have any questions please visit our Help Center or get in touch.
Thank you for using Google Play!

I never real any apps or play money games, so won't effect me much. Some may already use these features to lock their phones, but I've always steered clear of them having my fingerprints.

Anywho, wonder what's next.

I get that, but do you really think Google can't access it? They probably invented their own encryption

This is nothing new. It's new for how you pay with Google Play
