You still had a pin code, in addition to the fingerprint. It's an identical situation.

iOS supports both fingerprinting AND inputting of a PIN ... in iOS?

Did not know that. Then again, not sure how we can do that ... in iOS.

Seems like only at iOS power up, one cannot do both fingerprint and PIN.

same with facial recognition, isn't it? Don't you have to put in the PIN every now and then? I have an iPhone but I don't use facial.

One would like to think that you can maximize security of your phone by using both:

- what you have, and

- what you know
