    How do you use the new security features in the 5S? Do you utilize the Touch ID or just a Password or both?

    Have them both, but prefer the Touch ID, IMO, it's an awesome feature and works very well.

    Both are enabled but I prefer Touch ID. It's so much easier-I don't even have to look at my phone.

    I agree with both of you but do have both of mine activated. Never can be too safe.

    I also have both enabled but was thinking of going to a stronger pass code instead of the four digit.

    I use the touchID all the time so a simple backup is redundant and sloppy

    Touch ID (since it has grown on me) enabled for me. In order for Touch ID a passcode must be enabled, too. So, both.

    And if Touch ID could be enabled only without a passcode, I wouldn't use Touch ID.

    I prefer using the touch id. But pin is set up as a backup so whenever my daughter makes too many attempts to unlock my wife's iPhone then it would ask for the pin

    Touch ID is brilliant, and I have a 6 character passcode set up also.

    Love touch ID. Didn't think it would be a big deal at first but I love it now.

    I use both. My success rate has been about 6 out 10 on Touch ID.
    I'm working on trying to improve it.
    Good Luck

    I have both enabled. Touch ID is definitely a quick way to access my phone.

    Usually use Touch ID works about 95% of the time and I rarely ever have to put in a code for too many fails.

    I rarely put a passcode in as touch id works consistently in 7.1, and as a result I have a stronger passcode.

    I want Touch ID to replace all the password related apps in the iOS. But have them both is always practical.

    Touch ID the 99% of the times, unless I have a notification on my lockscreen that I want to see right away...
