I noticed that touch id can be bypassed by swiping and entering passcode. Is there any way to turn off the passcode, so the phone can ONLY be unlocked using your fingerprint?

I noticed that touch id can be bypassed by swiping the screen and entering your passcode. Is there any way to turn off the passcode, so the phone can ONLY be unlocked via fingerprint? I liked the idea of having the extra security of a fingerprint sensor, but not if the phone can still be unlocked using only the passcode. Then, what's the point of touch id? Am I missing something here?

iPhone 6, iOS 8
