Bypassing Touch ID

Hi,
I opened iPAssword and it prompted me for the Touch ID, now if i put the wrong finger, it gives a message "Try Again" now if I press and hold the home button the siri prompt was displayed. When i cancelled siri I was logged into the app.

A similar scenario also occurred when instead of siri I just clicked the home button, now the App either goes in the background or logs in (I've set the option "Lock on Exit" on)

I think this is a bug that needs to be fixed asap.

    Just an update, when you open the App it prompts you for touch ID, I just clicked the home button to start SIRI and cancelled it immediately and I was logged into the app....

    I encountered the same issue when we just started developing TouchID integration in 1Password.

    I couldn't believe it! I could unlock the app by simply trying to show the home screen or using Siri.

    I starting writing a bug report for iOS 8 and almost submitted it but at the last moment I realized that tapping the home button with the registered finger causes the TouchID to unlock :)
