IME an easy defeat for Touch ID, on the iPhone 5S at least, is to lick your fingers. Your phone will fail to unlock, and if you do it five times, your phone disables Touch ID for you.
Another trick is to simply turn off the phone. Touch ID is always initially disabled at boot.
I wish Apple would add a “duress finger” feature though.
- LyalinDotCom 9y ago"I wish Apple would add a “duress finger” feature though." that's a really good idea
- vanattab 9y agoWhat is a duress finger feature? A button to wipe the phone on the lock screen?
- TazeTSchnitzel 9y agoThe idea is that the phone would wipe itself/lock you out/whatever when you use a particular finger, rather than unlocking. So if made under duress to unlock the phone with your fingerprint, you use the previously-chosen “duress finger” rather than the normal one.

- wodenokoto 9y agoI have a Samsung, but if I use an unregistered finger a few times it will hard lock. So, wouldn't you index go her essentially be your duress finger o. IOS?
