Touch ID and apps

[Tartarus]

Do you think Apple will make it possible to allow apps to use Touch ID?

Do you think this will cause possible security threats?

If Apple allows it, what apps do you wish to see using Touch ID?

I for myself would like to use Touch ID with my online banking app.

 

[Hansana]

No
Yes
Bank eBay PayPal

 

[DroidArmy]

Some apps if any

Yes

PayPal, Amazon, Ebay, and my bank app

It's doubtful but if they do I will use it

Wouldn't make any sense to me. You need the password for the account to login and making a purchase doesn't require a password.

Don't you think Touch ID for login (whenever required) is enough?

What I would like to see is that all passwords were replaced by the Touch ID.

That would cause more trouble than it would help. You would have to register the fingerprint with the account, and then it's not going to work for some people and there will be complaints all over the internet.

Can you please explain the benefits of this?

I hate it that I have to input the 5 digit passcode in my banking app and Dropbox. It would be nice if that process was replaced by a fingerprint

He might be referring to keychain working with Touch ID?

He said something about Touch ID in apps. That didn't make sense.

Doesn't iCloud Keychain work without needing a password? It just works like autofill and syncs to your other Apple devices using iCloud.

It also needs your iCloud pass code from time to time correct?

I'm not sure. I don't use it.

I'm not sure. I don't use it.

I use my iPod Touch most of the time since it's faster than my iPhone 4S. I'm getting an iPhone 5S or 6 in the Fall.

Finally, iOS 8 is bringing what I wanted.. I'm happy
