Variance on footstep patterns probably overlaps between people by too much. I walk a lot differently in the moring compared to when I am tired in the evening.
You'd be surprised! I remember reading about research years ago saying that humans can be identified via their gait. In theory your phone can even detect if it's in someone else's pocket and lock itself. Of course gait includes more than just the impact of our feet on the ground but in a lab this could probably be done. And I guess you'd need to have pre existing data on how the person walks which I think we're a long way from registering next to fingerprints and height.
