With the release of the new iPhone 5s Apple introduced their finger print scanner allowing you to access your phone more quickly and with added security. One of the things Apple noted was that a high percentage of people were not using a passcode to protect their phones. The hassle of having to put the code in every time you needed to get into your phone was greater than the fear that important information might be lost so people just didn’t do it. People have a lot of things on their phones that are personal and important to protect so Apple decided to unveil fingerprint ID as a way to increase the security on their iPhones. I was fortunate enough to get a phone on launch day and have been playing with the new service and I have to say it is pretty incredible. I can’t imagine using my phone without fingerprint ID ever again. The ease of use of using it has been dead simple and reliable. So reliable that I actually set a long password on my phone instead of the 4 digit default. In this screencast I walk through the process of setting Fingerprint ID up and how it works.
