Piss poor excuse - think of all the users using a password now downgrading their security, but Apple advertising it as "high security". I like what you're saying, massively allow users to secure their phones without the pain of entering a password, but when it comes at a compromise of "little is better than none" is not the mentality people need for security. I'd rather see corporations rewarding and encouraging proper security strategies rather than creating some compromise for marketing.

>Piss poor excuse - think of all the users using a password now downgrading their security, but Apple advertising it as "high security". If you're talking aggregate security, TouchID will still increase security (even with current PIN users moving to a FP Scan) as currently about 50% don't use any sort of pass code now. If you're talking about the ability for current PIN users to maintain their level of security if they wish, -they can still use a PIN. Bottom line is that there will be fewer successful unauthorized login attempts in the wild.
