How can I let apps make changes using TouchID on MacBook Pro?

Solution 1:

This is not one of the supported features of Touch ID on macOS - at least not yet.

With Touch ID on your MBP, you can:

  • unlock your Mac
  • make purchases using your Apple ID (i.e. from the App Store and iTunes)
  • use Apple Pay

Undoubtedly as time goes by, more functionality will be added to Touch ID on macOS - but the ability to use it to allow apps to make changes to macOS isn't available yet.
