Touch ID- security issue
Hello all, I lock my iphone 7 with Touch ID and my daughter can unlock it as well with her finger! So it seems Touch ID is not a secure option. Has anyone experienced this?

Hello Viktoriya_TTT,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I understand from your post that your daughter was able to unlock your iPhone using Touch ID. To ensure that only your fingerprints are set up for Touch ID, use the steps from this article under the heading, "Manage your Touch ID settings".

Most likely she registered her finger. You can have up to 5 fingers registered.
Thank you, Lawrence! I removed the rest of the fingers and left only 1 and not she cannot unlock it :)
