Does anyone else see the fail here? Basically they state that Touch ID is more secure than using an passcode but then state that it falls back to passcode, in other words it actually reduces security by now giving you two ways of getting into the phone....
- giovannibajo1 13y agoThey explicitly mention that the security is as hard as the weakest link and thus suggest to not use a simple passcode anymore but switch to a full password. As long as the password needs to be bruteforce with more than 50K attempts (really, any reasonable one), your weakest link is the touch sensor, which is still 5 times better than a 4-digit passcode used by only 50% of users.
- bapbap 13y agoI've turned off simple passcode and made my passcode much more complicated. Now I can use Touch ID the majority of the time and only have to input the more complicated passcode every now and then.
