Hi Chuck. I have the fingerprint scanner on the 5S and I love it. When you first set up the fingerprint scanner, you will be asked to move your finger around a little bit on the scanner so it can get all angles of your finger. I think you get up to five finger print settings. I did two fingers on each hand. This is a good idea for convenience and in case you have an unfortunate encounter with a meat slicer or something else terrible. Of course, nothing in computing is 100% secure, but if you are concerned about your fingerprints being stored in the cloud, no worries. They are stored on the chip in your phone and not in the cloud. Also, I'm fairly certain that if you start using the fingerprint scanner and don't like it, you can disable it. You can even label each finger print with the name of the finger. This way, you can delete any fingers you don't want, and you can even put in a finger from another person and label it in case they need to get into your phone, they can, just as long as you trust them. As I said, you don't even have to use it if you don't want to, but I think you'll find that it is really wonderful and you'll never want to go back. Hope this helps.
