Fingerprint Cards Supports Google's Android M Preview

During Google

I/O May 28-29 Google provides developers with a preview of the new capabilities in the upcoming Android M release. One of the most significant new capabilities in the Android M release is the platform support for fingerprint sensors. This will enable app developers to take advantage of fingerprint sensors with compatible hardware for secure user verification, eliminating the need for PIN codes or passwords to identify and verify the user. As part of the Android M release, Google will introduce a payment service "Android Pay". Android Pay will also support fingerprint sensors for in-store and in-app purchases. By providing prototype devices, based on touch fingerprint sensors FPC1020 and FPC1025, FPC has supported and collaborated with Google from development to integration of the fingerprint sensor capabilities into Android M. During Google I/O some of these prototype devices have been used for demonstrations of the new fingerprint capabilities in Android M.
