Macbook Air Fingerprint
Dear community!
Just like Touch ID unlocks your iPhone or iPad, Touch ID on the MacBook gives you a password-free way to log into your laptop. Multiple users can register their fingerprints and associate them with. Open your closed MacBook Air or MacBook Pro (or press the Touch ID button). Rest your finger on the Touch ID sensor. How to use Touch ID to authorize App Store and iTunes purchases. Although the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with Touch Bar support Touch ID authorization of both App Store and iTunes purchases, setting it up can be a bit of a process. With the Surface Laptop Go measuring 10.95 x 8.1 x 0.62 inches and the MacBook Air measuring 11.9 x 8.4 x 0.6 inches, the 12.4-inch Surface Laptop Go is just a bit smaller and lighter than the Air.
As far as I understand, this problem exists for more than 2 years, after release of new MacBooks in 2016.
For now, what situation do I have: I want to change my current laptop, and I thought for a really long time towards MacBook Pro (and still I do same)... but. A few days ago I found on a net dozens of posts, where people, which use Windows as their main OS and have switched to Macbook, have problems with logging to Windows using Touch ID (Windows Hello). And, as I understood, BootCamp does not provide such functionality, and no one, which use Macbook Pro with Windows 10 cant login using Touch ID. And, as for me, it's really terrible when you buy very expensive brand device and you can't just log into OS with your finger (not writing a password). It's really faster, more secure and better. Actually, I dont want to buy any other Windows laptop, because I really love functionality and abilities of Macbook Pro. But, I want to stay secure with my new notebook.
So, here's the question: how can I do that? How can I log into a Windows on a Macbook Pro with TouchID? Does Apple provide any solution to this problem? Does any drivers or apps exists for Windows, which provide TouchID work with Windows Hello, as on any other Windows laptop? Thank you!
