These sort of monitoring (voice analysis etc) are always on (how do you think "Ok Google" works) and what assurance do you have that these monitoring are OFF not ON for someone who does not want those features.
You can argue that "Don't like it, buy something else", but seriously, what is the point of forcing these things to uninterested existing users and ask them to flip off if they don't like it?

        I'd highly doubt that it'd be the be-all and end-all if you lose your device..

            lol, 24 May 2016Please don't-ditch password login system completely...I doubt they will..it will probably be an option for those who want to use it. Just like now...we have patterns, passwords, fingerprint, iris scan coming up and maybe this new Google way of logging in. I am positive we will have options.. Android is abt options for the end user. So don't fret.

                          I always wonder why android phone need log in when we buy them. Why can't it be more like dumb phone. Such a fuss.

                                What if someone was a little drunk or a little sick.
                                Even worse what if he was beaten up or injured in a car accident ,then he couldn't call anyone of his family members or call a friend to help him.
                                I still prefer the password
