      I could not find confirmation that biometrics are only stored on the device. In fact, I did see that iOS does at least part of the biometrics in it’s iCloud keychain.

        It’s way stronger than that. Android does not have access to your fingerprint data by design.

        Here’s documentation that describes the storage architecture which prevents Android from seeing your fingerprint data.

        Maybe I am not quite understanding how this is going to work, but from what I understand, third-party password managers can integrate into this, and they would not require the biometrics to leave the device.
