It's nice to be able to authenticate sudo via biometric id with the help of Pam, or unlock your password manager like bitwarden.
I don't think an apple watch would help there?
- swiftcoder 7mo agoWait, one can wire up sudo to touch ID? I don't know how I never learned that before
- ZenDroid 7mo agoYeap, it's possible starting from Sonoma: https://sixcolors.com/post/2020/11/quick-tip-enable-touch-id-for-sudo/ https://sixcolors.com/post/2020/11/quick-tip-enable-touch-id...
- handstitched 7mo agoIt's been possible since Big Sur at least, the method for enabling it just changed woth Sonoma
- strus 7mo ago> I don't think an apple watch would help there? You can authorize via Apple Watch everything you can authorize via Touch ID. You get the notification on the Watch, and you need to press the button twice to auth. I don't remember if it works every time, or only when MacBook is closed and connected to external display/keyboard.
- beeflet 7mo agoI've got this functionality in linux with the framework laptop, and it really isn't much faster than typing in a password.
- e12e 7mo agoIt can be, if your typing is impaired.
- undeveloper 7mo agoeither you have killer typing speed or your password isnt long enough or your fingerprint scanner is slow
