This is going to be a big game changer for 2 factor authentication. No longer will you have to deal with a series of numbers, but should be able to just auth with your phone.

To ask a silly question - how? 2FA apps like Authy don't communicate with the service they provide for. An app per 2FA application would be extremely clunky.

It won't. Even your grandmother can fool a fingerprint scanner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geTgSzrKYdc
