For what it's worth, if you have a system with the T1 chip (Apple's been using the watch chip rebadged as a T1 for a few years as a SSD controller+security module), you can both unlock your laptop with your watch (built-in to the OS) and as a biometric sudo auth[0].

I don't have a watch and I don't want someone else's code accessing my TouchID :)
