Hi,
That’s because the original person who wrote about this didn’t realize he was pushing the home button to invoke SIRI with a recognized finger print finger. If anyone else uses the phone they can get to SIRI by pushing the home button but, the finger print reader is on that button and, if its not your finger, it doesn’t work Ron & Danvers From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Alan Lemly Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2015 11:01 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Defeating Touch ID with Siri was RE: Iphones no longer secure That's curious. I have my Touch ID and Passcode settings turned on to allow access to Siri from a locked screen but when I tried beating the system by asking for the temperature, nothing happened when I double tapped on the Weather Channel button below the provided temperatures. My screen did not change nor did the iPhone 6 unlock.

You can prevent Siri from being used without unlocking your device. To enable this, in iOS 8 you'll find it in Settings, Touch ID and Passcode, under the Allow Access when locked section. Turn Siri off from there. Actually I would turn pretty much everything off in that section.

I was hoping that kind of thing would not work, as when I go home, I'd like to keep it out of partying fingers. However, that just means we go back to the same old same all, commonsense. :-) Joney "If God can bring you to it, He will lead you through it."

This will bypass your finger print and your pass code and give me direct access to the phone. I thought this was secure? To do the trick is to ask Seri what the temperature is. In the lower right hand corner pass the times of the day with the temperature there is a weather channel button. Click on the button that will open the internet or safari. Once you open safari, hit the home button to close out of the net and it takes you back to your home screen or back to the desktop as I like to call it lol. I have the Iphone 6+. Not sure if this will work on other phones. I mean like the 5S and 6. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
