I agree with Allan’s comment about shoulder surfing.
I wish the uniqueness in TouchID were more than 1 in 50,000 (reducing the likelihood of a false accept.) and the humans would use a less obvious finger (No thumb or index finger) to make it harder to guess which
fingerprint to clone.
It would be interesting if device apps (that support added authentication, such as GFE0 could also use TouchID for authentication independent of device level authentication option.

I doubt it. The alternative that we are considering, and the AirForce has implemented, is TouchID. We feel TouchID is safer than a passcode since shoulder surfing is not possible with touchID.

Hi all,
Department of State is currently piloting Citrix XenMobile on iOS devices. One concern that has come up in our pilot users’ forum is the visibility of characters as you type in Passcodes and passwords. I know that
you can’t disable this in iOS7. But does anyone know if this will be an option in iOS8?
