Will iPhone 5s users be required to use the fingerprint sensor?

I'm considering buying the iPhone 5s, but I'm really not a fan of this fingerprint sensor it has. Would I be able to use the phone with a regular passcode, or does everyone have to use the sensor? I've been looking for information on it, but I haven't found anything that confirms or denies it.

Added (1). It is, but according to the articles I've read and pictures I've seen, the fingerprint sensor isn't automatically in use once you start using the phone. You have to set it up and comfirm it. What I want to know is whether or not that will be required. I want to use the phone with a regular passcode, but it might record your print once you touch the home button with or without your consent or something.

If i'm not mistaken the fingerprint sensor is the home button touchscreen but maybe i'm wrong

It will be set up once you start using the phone but it will be completely upto you, to continue to use it or not. If you do then you won't be using the passcodes at all. Also your in app purchases(including app purchases) will and can be done by your fingerprint without you typing your password every time. But you can definitely turn the setting off.

If you wish, you could use the fingerprint sensor or not. It's optional for added security.
