The iPhone 5s fingerprint sensor is one of the most talked about features of the new Apple iPhone. Instead of entering a passcode or PIN, users can place a finger on the home button and it will instantly unlock the iPhone.
Apple calls this feature Touch ID and in addition to unlocking the phone when there’s a passcode, it can also bypass the lock screen while a user is in the grace period between last use and a lock, for faster access to your information.
It goes a step further with the integration of the Apple App Store and iTunes. Instead of entering a complex Apple ID password to make a purchase, users can place a finger on the home button.
The iPhone 5s setup will prompt users to create a Touch ID fingerprint unlock, but if you’re in a store or in a hurry, it’s easy to skip at first.
Here’s how to use the Touch ID fingerprint sensor on iPhone 5s.
We’ll show you how to set up Touch ID on iPhone 5s and how to use Touch ID to unlock iPhone and make purchases.
How to set up Touch ID on iPhone 5s
In the four-minute video below, we explain what Touch ID is and show you how to set it up for up to five fingers, and then how to use Touch ID instead of an Apple ID password to make a purchase from the iPhone App Store.
The first thing you will need to do is go to Settings -> General -> Passcode & Fingerprint. This will ask you to create a passcode and fingerprint. You can use just a passcode if you don’t like using a fingerprint, but you can’t use a fingerprint without a passcode. Apple will require a passcode after a reset and if the iPhone has not been used in 48 hours.
Go ahead and enter a passcode twice to confirm it. Once this is done, you can tap on Fingerprints.
From here you can train up to five fingerprints. I trained my index finger and thumb, and I have room for one more fingerprint. The system learns to read prints at multiple angles and should improve over time.

Once the screen shows success, you can continue to add another finger or exit to start using the Touch ID fingerprint sensor.
When the iPhone is locked or just on a lock screen, press the home button with your finger to light up the screen, it will instantly read your fingerprint and if all is well, it should unlock the iPhone. It is around 90% accurate in our tests after a few hours.
When you try to make a purchase from the App Store or iTunes, iPhone 5s will ask you to use your fingerprint instead of an Apple ID passcode.
Users can delete fingerprints if they no longer want to use them. Apple’s marketing claims that the fingerprint is not stored outside of the iPhone, which basically means it won’t go to the NSA, iCloud, or some third-party service.
