Credit Karma, in another consumer finance technology first, demonstrated a prototype for a new fingerprint authentication feature developed for the Android M Developer Preview. The new fingerprint authentication feature would allow Credit Karma members with devices running Android M to unlock the Credit Karma app via the same one-touch login used to unlock their mobile phone when it launches for consumers later this year.“Credit Karma is always looking for innovative ways to simplify your finances, so working with Google on this seamless authentication feature makes perfect sense,” said Jonathan Chao, Product Manager heading up mobile at Credit Karma. “We aim to provide our members with an even easier mobile experience to help them manage their credit and finances for free.”Google I/O is an annual developer conference featuring inspirational talks, hands-on learning and a chance to hear more about Google’s latest developer products. It is held at San Francisco’s Moscone West Convention Center from May 28-29, 2015.
