Touch ID is awesome, but I semi-regularly use the APFS snapshot rollback feature and it erases my finger prints.
Does anyone know why this happens? I was very happy when I found out APFS is CoW but it kind of sucks that restoring an old snapshot apparently erases the secure enclave in my M1 chip.

- dkonofalski 6y agoMore than likely because that's a security risk. If it didn't do this, an attacker could likely roll back your machine to before you had Touch ID set up and then roll it forward again to access your data, now without a Touch ID restriction.
