Curious, what would happen if you purposefully damage your fingerprint? Say by forcing a burn on your finger using a stove top or car cigarette lighter.

- cheepin 10y agoThat's a pretty painful option compared to just handling rough objects. I've rendered touchID almost entirely ineffective just by grip taping a skateboard. The answer to your question though is that, at least on the phone's side, it would require your passcode to login

- Phlarp 10y agoWell, that would hurt, and you would have to permanently damage the entire fingerprint-- as only a small section of the scanned print is really needed to make a match. IANAL: but I would imagine a sour faced judge could call it contempt or maybe destruction of evidence depending on the circumstances?
