Obviously this is ridicules and I wont use it but it worked. It took longer to set up and its not as accurate. It seems like Apple would have made so if the software doesn't detect finger print like patterns it wont allow it. Im not going to try any other body parts as they are all to big to fit on the scanner like my elbow :).

You should try it with your pexxx. Sure it might be awkward in public. People will think you're making love with your phone but your phone should be more secure ;-)

Pretty sure there have been people doing this far before touch ID existed.

People sure do love their apple products after all ;)

yea but trying to get the right spot every time even if you are supper skinny will be pretty tough. Wonder if the tongue will work?

Next thing people will be adding their Butts:p

You would prob have to enter it multiple times to accommodate the various states. :). I just googled it. Been done.

I will say that non fingerprint appendages do not work as well and take longer to input.

Kidnapped?

Well, at the very least if you are ever tied up with your hands beind your back, and you manage to get your phone out of your pocket you could potentially unlock it and call for help :p
