How to Add your Fingerprint on MacBook Pro – Guide

Many people find passwords less than ideal for security. For starters, you need to remember them. The only sure way to make sure you don’t forget or lose your password is to write it down and keep the piece of paper (or whatever you’ve written on it) safe. There’s a better way if you have a current MacBook Pro or MacBook Air that supports Touch ID. Instead of a password, you can use yourself: Your Touch ID fingerprint. Touch ID works to unlock your Mac, but it’s secure enough to give you access to Apple Pay and other Apple services that involve cash. ..
