I don't have Touch ID on my phone, so I'm not sure this will help, but
you can go into Settings -> Passcode and set the passcode to only be
asked for after up to 4 hours. This won't eliminate the need to enter a
passcode, but it should reduce it quite a bit.

Hi Alan,
What you want is technically not possible as that four digit passcode
that you are made to create is in effect, the key to unlock the
encrypted file that contains your fingerprints want to store them in
the phone. However, I do believe that it is possible for you to make
it so that the phone doesn't prompt you for this passcode each and
every time your screen locks. Check out the settings under touch ID
and passcode to see how to do this. Good luck and I hope this helps

I know I'm a bit late to the party on this topic but I just now got
an iPhone with Touch ID. I believe if I want to turn on Touch ID, iOS
requires me to also have a passcode as a backup mechanism. What I
really want to use Touch ID for is when getting new apps to be able
to put my finger on the home button and not have to type in my Apple
ID password. What I don't want to have to do is to type in my
passcode or provide my fingerprint whenever my screen locks and I
want to start it again. So far, I've been unable to figure out a
setting that will let me use my Touch ID fingerprint to get apps
without also having to provide either my Touch ID fingerprint or
passcode when my phone locks.
Can someone tell me if what I want is possible and the steps to do so
if it is?
Thanks in advance.
