Log in with fingerprint

You can now use your fingerprint to log in to TaxCaddy. This can be enabled/disabled in the settings screen. Updating the password in the TaxCaddy app will update the stored fingerprint password, allowing subsequent logins using your fingerprint to continue working. Changing the password elsewhere will cause it to fail and require you to log in manually to update the fingerprint password. Anyone with a registered fingerprint on the phone will be able to access the account.
