Sure, maybe you can bypass this mechanism, but as an everyday password, this is still a substantially easier tool than typing in a 4-digit password.
In fact, at least you cannot easily spoof my fingerprint at a public location, while you could certainly easily figure out my password by just standing over me when I type it. I wonder how many mall cameras, street cameras and all sorts of public surveillance cameras have all our passwords?

I know tons of people, including myself, who don't use any passcode on their phone because the 4 digit stuff is a hassle. CCC is arguing this isn't pick-proof anti-tampering deadbolt, when right now a huge number of users don't even have a door. It's still a MASSIVE improvement.
