Third party keyboards from lock screen

[jmcbrid23]

I've noticed that while I have touch ID on I'm unable to use the SwiftKey keyboard. When I try to respond to messages from the lock screen for example I only am able to use the emoji keyboard. Anyone else notice this issue?

Yea I am having that issue also. No third party keyboards work from the lock screen. Hopefully they fix that in IOS 8.0.1.

Yeah hopefully. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one having that issue. I thought I had missed a setting or something to enable it.

I believe this is working as intended. I read somewhere else that third party keyboards are restricted from being used in certain parts of iOS for security reasons. Developers also have the option to selectively disable extensions (including keyboards) inside their apps to prevent key logging.
