Google is not entitled to my personal banking information or any other PII! WTF if I go to a store and want to buy I will.

    If your banking app has a biometrics lock, it doesn’t mean the bank has your biometric data. That’s not how this works.

      I feel like the bigger security concern here, if one needs to worry about it for their threat level that is more likely, is just like if someone knows your password, who could force me to unlock my phone via biometrics?

        In America at least, “law enforcement” (Police, Ice, CBP) aren’t allowed to force you to enter your password, but they can just happen to hold your phone up to your finger/face to unlock it using biometrics.

      Yeah, android doesn’t allow apps to collect biometrics data, at least not using the standard fingerprint sensors.

      Unless the OS is heavily modified i don’t think AOSP is technically capable of doing that
