How to: Enable the fingerprint feature on the iPhone 5s
Editor's note: No, this is not my fingerprint!!! Â :-)
Ever since the iPhone 5S came out, you'd be surprised at how many questions I have gotten on how to enable and use the new finger print feature on the device. Â While it maybe obvious to some, many people are confused with how this actually works.
First and foremost, despite what you may have heard from so called "security experts", neither Apple, any Government agency, or the NSA does NOT HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR FINGERPRINT.  According to Apple, any fingerprint(s) are stored on a separate secure chip in the phone that may get deleted if the chip is removed from the device.  Even though the U.S. NSA has asked Apple for access, the company has refused to give it to the NSA, as far as we can tell by various sources within the security community.
Now that's out of the way, let's get to the good stuff.
Finger prints and devices are nothing new. Â Companies such as HP and IBM had it on their computers a few years ago. Â A finger print is better then a password because each one is unique and can be the future of computer security.
To enable the feature on the iPhone 5S (sorry, the 5C does not have one) follow these steps:
1.  Go to Settings > General > Passcode & Fingerprint.
2.  Select the Fingerprint option.
3.  Select the Finger 1 option (this should be the main owner of the phone).
4. Â The device can hold up to 4 (or 5?) different fingerprints.
5. Â The section will ask you to put your finger on the new home button so it can scan it several times.
6. Â When it is finished, it will prompt you to either save it or cancel it.
That's it.
Now, to activate the phone, press the home button once.  Then, place your finger (that you scanned) on the home button.  Within a second or so, the device should display the standard home screen.  You can also use this feature when purchasing music or apps from the app store.
