Touch ID/Fingerprint Recognition

Touch ID^® is a fingerprint recognition feature for Apple^® devices, which allows users to unlock their device and utilize various apps to bypass standard username/password credentials.

To set up Touch ID:

Before you can set up Touch ID, you need to create a passcode for your iPhone. Then follow these steps:

1. Make sure that the Home button and your finger are clean and dry.
2. Tap Settings > Touch ID & Passcode, then enter your passcode.
3. Tap Add a Fingerprint and hold your device as you normally would when touching the Home button.
4. Touch the Home button with your finger—but don't press. Hold it there until you feel a quick vibration, or until you're asked to lift your finger.
5. Continue to lift and rest your finger slowly, making small adjustments to the position of your finger each time.
6. The next screen asks you to adjust your grip. Hold your device as you normally would when unlocking it, and touch the Home button with the outer areas of your fingertip, instead of the center portion that you scanned first.
