What's the opinion? Apple said you can use this to replace your password. No one had an iTunes Store account without a password before, so this would 100% be replacing a password.

>> "Pretty good security would be to require both the fingerprint and a PIN (for unlocking the phone, at that stage a fingerprint is fine for authenticating iTunes' digital purchases)."

I believe that's the opinion being referred to.

Actually, I did. I have a tweak from Cydia which autocompletes my Apple ID password when making a purchase from the App/iTunes Store.

If it autocompletes your name as well, would you say you don't have a name?
