Re:Quick Tip: Enable Touch ID for Sudo (2020) on Wednesday June 15, 2022 @11:28AM (#31754457)
When fingerprint readers were first starting to appear in Thinkpads, I enabled it so I could log in. I was demo'ing it to a co-worker who said "what's to keep someone from cutting your finger off to log in". I responded "if we've reached the point that they are willing to cut off my finger, I'm going to give them my password".
