ok. this seems promising. i remember the day of the announcement of TouchID i asked for something like this. Ideally Apple would embed such a feature directly on the Mac. We know Apple like to take 2 years or so to roll out equivalent features on all hardware. so this may come That being said FingerKey seems to have issues with iPhone6 and 6+. Developer sai… See more

@OurielOhayon +1. That's way too much friction to unlock when typing your password on the Mac doesn't take much effort. I'd much rather unlock with my (non-existent) beard, anyway.

@emieljanson @rrhoover @jwvd that looks VERY promising. can t wait to try it. the only concern i would have is that apparently anyone finding my phone could unlock this way my computer, even if they can t unlock my iphone. For me the only simple and elegant solution: TouchID on the Mac. just a matter of time.

@OurielOhayon Thanks Ouriel! We'll also make an option to just lock your computer whenever you walk away. That way you have to unlock your computer manually (by typing your password).

@OurielOhayon I use their Today Widget. 1. Swipe down, 2. Tap FingerKey's widget, 3. TouchID to unlock phone, 4. Finally TouchID to unlock Mac. There's no need to Swipe left and tap login. Use TouchID.
