iOS 8, released to the public earlier today, included a slew of new APIs for developers. One of those APIs opened up Touch ID to third-party apps, letting developers use the fingerprint scanner for authentication purposes within apps.

Quite a few apps have been updated to take advantage of Touch ID integration, replacing passwords and PIN codes. We've gathered up a comprehensive list of the most popular apps that now use Touch ID, which you can find below.

- 1Password (Free) [Direct Link] - Password management app 1Password allows Touch ID to replace a Master Password, providing access to the app.

- LastPass (Free) [Direct Link] - Like 1Password, LastPass uses Touch ID to protect a user's LastPass vault. It replaces the Master Password.

- Amazon App (Free) [Direct Link] - The newly updated Amazon app for iOS 8 allows users to sign into their Amazon accounts using Touch ID instead of a password.

- Discover Mobile (Free) [Direct Link] - Banking app Discover Mobile lets users log into their accounts using Touch ID instead of a password.

- Evernote (Free) [Direct Link] - Evernote allows Evernote premium users who have protected their accounts with a passcode to log in with Touch ID instead of a number.

- Mint (Free) [Direct Link] - Money management app Mint allows users to substitute Touch ID for a passcode when logging into their Mint accounts.

- Scanner Pro ($6.99) [Direct Link] - Scanner Pro's newly updated iOS 8 app lets users protect their scanned information with Touch ID.

- Simple (Free) [Direct Link] - Banking app Simple lets users log into their bank accounts with Touch ID.

- Day One ($4.99) [Direct Link] - Day One allows users to unlock their journals with Touch ID, replacing a passcode.

- ETrade* (Free) [Direct Link] - ETrade has been updated with Touch ID authentication, which allows users to enter the app through fingerprint verification rather than a password.

- Keeper Password Manager (Free) [Direct Link] - This password management app is now able to use Touch ID fingerprint authentication in place of a master password.

Other apps with Touch ID integration: Yplan, Memoir, eHarmony

These are just a sampling of the apps that have integrated Touch ID so far. Additional app developers will likely be rolling the feature into their apps in the near future, now that iOS 8 is widely available. Want more iOS 8 info?

I'm sure USAA won't be too far behind. They are always at the forefront of adding in these types of things to their banking app. :cool:
 
Even on a reboot, you have to enter the master password again. Same as when TouchID doesn't work at first for both unlock and iTunes purchases. Sorta frustrating but probably because of security.

You have to go to the security settings and change how frequently the Master Password is requested. If you set it to 30 days then it will just use touchID until 30 days have passed (or if TouchID fails too many times).
 
iOS 8 looks really, really awesome. I am glad they are opening things up a bit with this and widgets/keyboards... but at the same time they're not making iOS a convoluted mess like android mostly is.
 
Sometimes the decision to put things on the front page as opposed to the dedicated iOS page baffles me
 
1PW has been THE APP I've been waiting for to have TouchID integration, and now it's finally here! YAY!!
 
Loving the fact that third party apps can finally use Touch ID.

On an off topic issue, has anyone been able to figure out how to have 1password auto fill fields in Safari?
