Authentication using ios keychain - touch id (is this possible) [duplicate]

Question

This question already has an answer here:

iPhone 5s Touch ID sensor API [closed] (1 answer)

Closed 8 years ago.

Instead of using the user object and password from ios keychain to authenticate in an app do developers have access to the user object's touchId. I do not want to store the fingerprint (and I know that apple will not allow this) I just want to authenticate using the fingerprint (touchid) that is encrypted on the hardware. I can't seem to find any subclasses or methods in the documentation that would allow me to perform the authentication using touchId rather than user and pass. Any insight would be great.

Thanks!

Answer 1

No, (at the time of writing) developers have no access to the touch sensor or any information from it.

Answer 2

It is possible only if you jailbreak.
