Do you all taught that coming of fingerprint scanner in iPhone 5S really going to kill the password? I don’t think so! According to latest news the customers who wish the use Touch ID also have to create a passcode as a backup. If u don’t use iPhone for 48 hours or if you rebooted it then you wanted the passcode(not the fingerprint) to unlock it. This system is to block the hackers to get into the phone.

And you can’t unlock the iPhone with moisture-laden fingers covered in sweat, lotion or other liquids(that includes water).There also problems for persons whose fingers are scarred by accident or surgery. So I really think the passcode will be useful to those persons.

Instead of storing the photograph of fingerprints the Apple’s Touch ID sensor scans the fingerprint at a 500 ppi resolution and stores “fingerprint data” which remains encrypted within the iPhone’s processor. So someone cracked an iPhone’s encrypted chip can’t able to reverse engineer someone’s finger print.
