A "bug"?. Need touch ID only for app store and no passcode to unlock the Phone!

Hello. I have an Iphone 5S and have a doubt about the touch id. I want to use it only for getting apps from the apps or itunes store. To unlock the phone i don´t want neither touch id or passcode. Is this possible?

I´ve tried all the options available.

- if only select touch id for app store, it keeps asking me the passcode to unlock the phone

- If i turn the passcode off, it doesn´t allow me of course to use touch id anywhere...

Thanks in advance for the help!

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1

No in order to use the touch id for apps and itunes, you will need to create a passcode.

No passcode no touch id.

I'm in the same boat why can't I use my touch id instead of typing in a stupid password, I hate passcodes! I get in and out of my phone 100 times a day I'm not going to waste .5 seconds every time just to unlock my phone.

If you're using Touch ID, it takes no longer to unlock your phone than it does to pick it up. That's the whole point. It certainl doesn't take 5 seconds. Of course, it also doesn't take 5 seconds for me to enter a 4 digit passcode.

Best of luck.
