I fell for the same silly mistake the person posting the message did. If you don't use the same finger you used to set a fingerprint, it won't work. But, if you hold the home button with a fingerprinted finger, it seems like you've bypassed the security but you have not. If anyone is worried about this, you can disable Siri access at the lock screen under the touch id and pass code settings.
But, it looks quite secure if you either do not have a fingerprint set or use a different finger. Richard > On Apr 26, 2015, at 11:37 AM, Alex Hall <mehg...@icloud.com> wrote: > > I'm not sure then.
