Say goodbye to remembering long passwords.<\/p>\n

The next version of Android\u00a0\u2014 tentatively called Android M \u2014 will reportedly include “native fingerprint authentication,” according to a report from BuzzFeed<\/em>.<\/p>\n

With fingerprint authentication baked right into the mobile operating system, users will be to “log in to all of the supported applications on their Android devices without entering a password,” the report states.<\/p>\n

Google is expected to announce the feature at its annual Google I\/O developer conference that will be held from May 28 to 29 in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

iOS users with TouchID-equipped devices know all about the convenience of using a fingerprint instead of entering a password. Not only is it faster, but it’s also more secure.<\/p>\n

Fingerprint authentication will require a device with a fingerprint sensor, though.<\/span><\/p>\n

There aren’t many Android devices that have fingerprint sensors right now \u2014 the Samsung Galaxy Note 4,S6\/S6 Edge and HTC One Max are a few that come to mind \u2014 but that will likely change soon.<\/p>\n

A fingerprint sensor was originally planned for the Nexus 6, but Google scrapped the feature at the last minute when it couldn’t get a first-class supplier. Apple reportedly gobbled up all of the sensors Google wanted.<\/p>\n

In addition to replacing annoying passwords, fingerprints can be used for mobile payments.<\/p>\n

Apple Pay has already proven to be a hit and Samsung Pay hopes to replicate the same success.<\/p>\n
