Apple users now can more easily and securely authenticate access to the Mint app on-the-go from any device.
A person's fingerprint is the perfect password. Touch ID adds another great layer of mobile security to Mint's 128-bit encryption and physical security that banks use.
With just a touch of the Home button on your iOS 8 enabled device, the Touch ID sensor quickly reads your fingerprint and automatically unlocks your phone, or in this case, access to the Mint app.
While users will still have the option to log-in using their passcode, Touch ID provides the ability to quickly and securely access financial information with a single touch.
