Imagine someone knocks you out and takes your phone. Use finger (possibly still attached) to authenticate. Profit.
So not really a good idea.
I rather have the option of unlocking the phone via PIN, then have the option of sending a FPR hash to a site of my choice. Speaking of which, I wonder if they salt or provide some other way of sending unique hashes to different web sites or is this now the equivalent of using a fingerprint as the same password for all sites.
Which is worse, since you can't really get a new finger (well, you get 19 more resets including toes) since your print is somehow compromised (website leak, etc.)
