This would be useful in the case when laptop lid is closed. TouchID/FaceID are still very fast

The Magic Keyboard for Apple Silicon macs has a Touch ID button. Works great.

You can do this with a chromebook and an android phone. I find it is more comfortable and faster to just type in the pin vs unlocking the phone, so I don't use it much.

MacOS doesn't believe in PINs. It's passwords or touch id.

I'm glad my windows PC only requires a PIN :)
