"rarely"?
Well, I'll say I don't have to punch in my 4 digit PIN much, perhaps that's what you meant. But the 'full password' - the Apple ID password - I have to put that in all the time. The touchID verification for apple store downloads seems to only hold for an hour or so, then I gotta punch in the full painful password again... :(
- bobbles 12y agoI believe the mechanisms are something like: 1) ask for password on phone reset 2) ask for password if it hasn't been used for an authentication for ~72 hours something about people forgetting their passwords if they never got asked for them at all
- mgkimsal 12y ago72 hours is crazy - do they expect people to be buying stuff all the time? What's crappy about it is that they force a moderately complex password strength which is much harder to input on a touch screen keyboard. I'm constantly having to enter that - the 'touch id' for using the apple store, to me, is effectively uselesss. For unlocking the device, it's fine.
- jasonlotito 12y agoThat happens if you turn off your device. There might be a setting or option you might need to enable. After I've restarted, I enter the password once in the store, and after that, touch ID works.
