I am able to functionally bypass and use my passcode locked iPhone 6 by using siri. While iPhone is locked ask siri something silly like "how many cities does Cali have" and then click on a webpage *surprisingly no authentication needed* you may proceed to push the home button. WALA there goes your locked iPhone that now anybody can use. Please FIX
iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.2
I've got a problem as well, not exactly the same but, When I have the phone locked and long press the home button to call up Siri and ask her a question it prompts me for my passcode, but won't let me use touch-id. Anyone else have this happen?

It's not the right place to ask this. Please create your own thread, use an appropriate title and you should get some answers that match your query specifically.
Siri will return results from various online services, even when locked. It looks like certain results can allow access to the device, report this to Apple if you think it is incorrect or a bug or a security risk etc… Just be sure that touch ID is not being used - delete all your fingerprints when testing.
The answer is simple as far as I can see… turn off Siri & any other items that you do not want to work on the lock screen via the settings app (like control centre which can enable airplane mode which defeats Find my iPhone).
There is a balance between security & convenience, if you want one of these, you may have to sacrifice the other.
Delete your fingerprints and it won't do it
Its actually not a bug because look at this when I put my registered finger on the home button while I am turning Siri and asking her what time is it she answers and then I click the clock then it goes to it BUTTTT when I click the home button it went to the home screen.... Now this time I put on the unregistered finger click the clock and everything... I click the home button it went straight to the lock screen....!!!!!!!!

So far we've just had people offer possible solutions or assume the OP is doing something wrong. Are others able to test this on their iPhones to see if they can replicate the behavior? I tested it and when clicking on the website I was prompted for my passcode or Touch ID. I was unable to replicate it but wondering what others are experiencing.
Do you think Apple is that inept? Do you think that the FBI would have had to pay a hacker millions to get into a phone if it were that easy? Of course, lots of people have tested it.
