MacBook Pro last year received the most significant update in the history of the series. And it's not just a radically updated design, a new set of ports and increased productivity, but above all in the appearance of an innovative control element: an additional mini touch screen Touch Bar with integrated Touch ID fingerprint scanner. Fingerprint module in new MacBooks Pro can be called, without exaggeration, the main advantage of Apple's new products over any other laptop.

You can create super-strong passwords

The introduction of Touch ID to the Mac, as well as the iPhone and iPad, allowed users to create longer and more complex Apple ID passwords. In the past, people understood that they would have to keep this password in their head and constantly enter it. Now you can set a password of any complexity and log in to the device and make purchases in App Store by simply touching the fingerprint sensor. Of course, entering a password is also sometimes required, but it can be stored in the same 1Password, which supports authorization via Touch ID.

You can protect your data by setting a complex password of at least 25 characters, but at the same time log in to the system using your fingerprint. As with the iPhone, on a Mac you only need to manually enter your password after rebooting and updating the OS.

Biometric information on your MacBook Pro is securely protected. Touch ID input registration is handled by a dedicated Apple T1 chip, which is nothing more than a processor from the Apple S2 SiP. The integrated Secure Enclave coprocessor in the T1 forms a secure layer between the OS and the three devices it controls - the Touch ID scanner, Touch Bar and webcam. In addition, on-screen dialogue Apple Pay for security purposes, they are rendered entirely on T1 and access to the Keychain password storage also occurs through the chip.

Touch ID in apps

On at the moment Not all macOS apps support Touch ID. But those that have already received support for a fingerprint scanner seriously simplify working with the device. You can create an account on any service with a complex password, enter it into the 1Password database and log in with your fingerprint.

Apple Pay paired with Touch ID is an irreplaceable thing. Buying anything online has never been easier.

That's why developers should consider integrating their apps with Touch ID. This will be useful for social networks, banking services, mail clients and any other applications where authorization is required.

Touch ID doesn't make your Mac more secure, it just makes things easier. As mentioned above, you can create a super complex password without worrying about having to enter it every time. In order not to forget it, the data can be saved in an application like 1Password, which can be accessed by fingerprint. It's really fast and convenient.

Sometimes it's better to turn off Touch ID

It would be a good idea to disable iPhone unlocking using Touch ID instead of a password before going through security at the airport. Likewise, on a Mac, sometimes you should use your usual password. IN different countries- different laws. It's much easier to get you to put your finger on the scanner to unlock your Mac than to get your password.

Touch ID for everyone!

Touch ID is a great technology, so hopefully Apple is already working on a Magic Keyboard with fingerprint sensor support so that users desktop computers could also protect their data. In addition, we can soon expect support for the technology in many applications for Mac.

Apple's fingerprint scanning technology, Touch ID, is no longer limited to iOS devices. New MacBook Pro with touch panel has a Touch ID reader built into the power button, directly above the key Delete.

Using Touch ID, you can do things like approve Apple purchases Pay, unlock your laptop, or unlock important apps like 1Password.

Apps that support Touch ID.

At the moment, the list of applications outside the Apple ecosystem is quite short. Short enough that 1Password seems to be the only third party application of those that support Touch ID. As for Apple apps, you can use Touch ID to view iCloud Keychain in Safari or unlock secure notes in the Notes app, in addition to unlocking your MacBook Pro and using Apple Pay.

There are two ways to set up Touch ID on the new MacBook Pro; let's take a look at both.

Initial setup.

During initial setup laptop or adding a new user account, a prompt will be displayed asking you to set up Touch ID.

The process is very simple. Place your finger on the reader several times, just as you would on an iOS device, changing the position of your finger slightly between taps.

In a few seconds everything will be ready. You will not be given the option to add more than one finger during initial setup.

System settings.

If you want to add another finger or you missed initial setup you can always open System Settings and click on Touch ID.

Follow the instructions to add your first fingerprint, or click on the "+" sign to add another.

You can then customize how you want to use Touch ID on your MacBook Pro by checking (or unchecking) the checkboxes next to the three options listed: Unlocking Mac, Apple Pay and iTunes and App Store.

If you have a MacBook Pro with Touch ID, then you probably know how to add fingerprints for authentication. But what to do when the saved fingerprint needs to be deleted? You can also delete fingerprints, and today we will tell you how this is done.

Obviously, this only applies to Mac models that support Touch ID, including the MacBook Pro with Touch Bar.

How to delete a saved fingerprintTouch ID WithMac

1. Open System Preferences from the Apple menu and select Touch ID.
2. Hover over the fingerprint you want to delete and click on the (X) icon that appears in the corner.
3. Enter your password to confirm deletion.

You can delete other fingerprints if necessary. You can even delete all your fingerprints and then add them again, or not use Touch ID on your Mac at all. It may be necessary to remove a fingerprint for various reasons. For example, you can delete saved fingerprints to add them again for better work technologies. Or maybe you hurt your finger and now your fingerprint looks a little different. In any case, this is done very easily.

Additionally, the number of Touch ID fingerprints on a Mac is limited, and sometimes you need to delete an old fingerprint to add a new one.

At the moment, Touch ID support is only available on different models MacBook Pro with a touchbar, but in the future it may appear on other laptops or computers.

It is worth noting that you can also delete saved Touch ID fingerprints on iPhone and iPad.

The new MacBook Pro, as we know, has finally received, approximately the same as the iPhone and iPad. The reader is built directly into the laptop's power on/off button, which in turn is located next to the touchpad, right above the physical Delete button on the keyboard.

As the developer himself noted during the ceremonial presentation, using Touch ID the user will be able not only to turn on the laptop itself, but also to log in to Apple Pay, the App Store, as well as in a variety of specific applications like 1Password etc.

However, here we can clarify a little. As of now, Touch ID is mainly supported only by Apple branded applications. Moreover, 1Password is virtually the only computer application third party developer, which supports Touch ID. As for Apple's programs, the fingerprint scanner in the MacBook Pro can be used, for example, to open protected entries in the Notes application, view iCloud Keychain in, pay for something in Apple Pay, etc. .

There are at least two ways to enable the Touch ID fingerprint scanner in the 2016 MacBook Pro.

Namely:

• when first turned on

And also when registering each new account the system will automatically prompt you to set up Touch ID. The procedure is simple: just like, you need to place your finger on the surface of the scanner several times, slightly changing its position with each touch. After a couple of seconds, the laptop will remember the fingerprint. Actually, nothing more is needed. The only caveat : When you turn it on for the first time, you can only add one finger to the memory.

• via System Settings

When you need to add additional “fingers” or set up Touch ID on a MacBook Pro, bypassing the procedure of registering a new account, you can always do this in the Touch ID section system settings MacBook Pro. Open it and then simply follow the instructions. To add a new fingerprint, click “+”. Along the way, you can also configure the functionality of Touch ID, that is, indicate where it will be used: to log in, to authorize in Apple Pay and/or.
