That's so confusing... Could someone explain what is going on? How can an app access the fingerprint biometric data? Isn't it just secured in the device's Strongbox TrustZone or Secure Enclave?

Right, thereโ€™s no way on iOS to get fingerprint data.

"Subsequently, Coinbase harvests fingerprint data when customers log into their accounts using the required fingerprint scanning technology, accord to the suit."

I was not aware that people log in with their fingerprint.
