Among the pieces of evidence that Google suggests the Trust API could use are some obvious biometric indicators, such as your face shape and voice pattern, as well as some less obvious ones: how you move, how you type and how you swipe on the screen. With the service continually running in the background of the phone, it can keep track of whether those indicators match how it knows you use your phone.

I'm not sure mankind is ready for this...

Wintermute:

Repeat after me: Biometrics are a replacement for a username, not a password. This shit will eventually get hacked, and good luck changing your face when that happens.
