Problems with fingerprint authentication
How do I get my iPhone SE5 running iOS 14.6 to stop asking me for fingerprint verification? I set it up ages ago but it has never worked and I want to use my PIN for everything
iPhone SE, iOS 14

Thanks for this, chris_g1, I have managed to switch off the touch ID thing and have deleted all its saved fingerprints, so it shouldn't trouble me again.
