alt Hacker NewsIt'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?

Wait, one can wire up sudo to touch ID? I don't know how I never learned that before

I've got this functionality in linux with the framework laptop, and it really isn't much faster than typing in a password.

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.
