WATCH: A cat unlocks the iPhone 5S using Touch ID and the Fingerprint Sensor
However, no other paw pads would unlock the device
The cat’s paw worked, and while it encountered more frequent failures than did a fingerprint, it was able to unlock the phone again repeatedly when positioned correctly on the sensor.

Note that no other paw pads would unlock the device, and that cats essentially have unique “fingerprints” just like people, so this doesn’t make the Touch ID sensor any less secure.

Heel of palm and wrist were also able to unlock the phone's content
The user was also able to use the heel of his palm and his wrist in the experiment which is described as 'a broadening of the definition of what counts as a “fingerprint”'.

What more, a technology site found that Touch ID is not just a fingerprint sensor, but a toe and fingerprint sensor
Here's how to set up and use the Touch ID on your iPhone 5S
Getting Touch ID up and running is pretty straightforward. First, go to Settings > Passcode & Fingerprint > Fingerprint and then choose “Add a Fingerprint.”
Then just follow the onscreen prompts to get every angle and intricacy of your fingerprint documented by the scanner.

Touch ID can only be used to unlock your iPhone 5s and make App Store or iTunes purchases — at least for now. Just place your finger on the home button for a second or two and you’ve been verified.
Touch ID has 360-degree fingerprint readability. Theoretically, that means no matter how you place your finger on the home button’s sensor, it should be able to read your print.
