Google standardizing fingerprint IDs across Android devices

Google's just revealed that it will standardize fingerprint ID security across Android M devices, so that every manufacturer doesn't have to build its own system. What that means is that developers will be able to use an open system that lets you unlock your device, buy with Google Pay, pay at Google's Play store and perform other common functions with your fingerprint. The system will also be bundled as an API in third-party applications. In other words, it'll work much like Apple's fingerprint system already does.
