either use their fingerprint or enter a password
Yes. Absolutely. How is this so controversial?
My laptop lets me enter a password, or use a fingerscan. 99% of the time I use a fingerscan, but I have had it malfunction (the driver died or something) in which case I used the password. I very much imagine the iPhone 5S will try to drive a similar use.
It's "too much trouble" with a screen code when you have to do it every single time you grab your device. If you have a fingerprint alternative for the overwhelming majority of cases, yes it would make security more likely.
- w1ntermute 13y ago> Yes. Absolutely. How is this so controversial? You clearly don't understand the target audience. An either-or setup for unlocking their phone is already way too complicated, especially for the average iPhone user. Steve Jobs would have never allowed such a gimmicky feature.
- corresation 13y agoYou are being overly cynical. The notion that a screenlock is onerous is entirely based upon the idea that doing it every time you want to use your device quickly becomes a major PITA: I despise the fact that I have to do a screen pattern over and over and over again, and honestly would disable it if I weren't forced to keep it on by an ActiveSync policy. If I could bypass it with a quick fingerprint scan that would be brilliant, and that is what Apple is going for. I'm going to guess they do okay in the whole glove situation.
