Title: [2014-07-19] Chain’s iOS API Provides Fingerprint Authorisation for Bitcoin Apps Post by: epere on July 19, 2014, 04:29:53 AM http://www.coindesk.com/chains-api-lets-sign-bitcoin-transactions-fingerprint/
Chain has released a demo iOS app with a new feature it says is the future of bitcoin on mobile devices – the ability to send bitcoin using fingerprint recognition technology.

I though this would happen when they opened the scanner to apps on IOS 8. The 5s fingerprint scanner was closed to apps in IOS 7 and prior.

Enough said.

Agree Chain didn't research the security. Off topic but the sad part of chain, and all blockchain apis, is they don't know anything about bitcoin. They only know about scalability. When I look at this apis, it makes me said that they get funding and actively put users at risk.

The NSA can already collect too much info about us.

Having some sort of fingerprint scanner to finally ok a transaction would be a good idea ontop of 2 factor authentication.
