Function keys _and_ TouchID? How is that possible? ;)

  Yes, TouchID is a keeper! Any chance Apple will back out on the touch bar for MBP's — "We've learned from that experience."? I have one and am not thrilled with the touch bar, but I really prefer fingerprint unlocking over typing a password.

    It's great for quick access to emoji's though - my #1 usage, sadly :)

    Get BetterTouchTool. It allows you to fully customise the buttons making it infinitely more useful.

      Even with this, the Touchbar is gimmicky garbage. Maybe I'm getting old, but I don't want this even if I can customize it.

    Touch ID is temporary. FaceID is the future.

      Apple Watch unlock is even better - especially when I'm at work and my mac is off to the side with my focus on my 2 external monitors. I just walk up to my desk, tap the space bar and the watch and mac do their thing and I'm logged in. It's awesome.

        There's Unlox, where you can lock/unlock based on phone proximity. It was wonky last time I used it, but that functionality with the watch is too good. https://unlox.it/ https://unlox.it/

          MacID works better it also locks more reliably when you step away from your desk.

            Are they not the same? > MacID 2.0 is now available has been renamed to Unlox.

        Maybe I'm old fashioned but I just don't understand what's so difficult about typing in a password that warrants the facial recognition system.

          Oh, it's totally just convenience, no other reason. I suppose you could argue that if you then forced people to use longer, more complex passwords, they would have fewer issues.

  Function keys _and_ TouchID _and_ an Escape Key. That’s like Kinder Surprise... three wishes at once!
