Far more convenient than using passwords.

Yes, the key is that even if the touch id doesn't work, you just put in your passcode. There are certain situations where I've had trouble with touch id (wet finger or when my iPad is in landscape mode) but I can still put in the passcode with no problem. Note that every so often, you are required to put in the passcode to reactivate the touch id. No idea what the rational for that is.
