Authenticate Using Touch ID - iOS Development Tutorial with Swift - Code Hangout 27

TouchID is perhaps the world's current most intuitive, fastest way for your users to authenticate, logging into your app. Have you utilized this incredible feature in iOS?

Hey Duc's here. Welcome to episode #27 of Code Hangout!

If you didn't know, Apple now allows us, developers to touch into the power of TouchID. We can now use this new framework in iOS, Local Authentication, to offer our users another way to log in to our apps instead of the traditional passcode system.

Let's find out how to use Touch ID for authentication in this episode of Code Hangout! Before moving on to the demo, let's sign up to download the starter project (free :p) and my freebie for you as always - my new iOS crash course on How to Build Snapchat with Swift and Parse - that you can definitely check out later on. I believe you'll dig this!
