In case this helps anyone else, I’ve found out how to enable Touch ID with the sudo command on Mac OS. When enabled, running sudo opens a dialogue prompting you to use Touch ID or to activate a button to prompt for your password.
As root, go to /etc/pam.d and change the permissions of the sudo file temporarily with chmod 644 sudo then run your preferred text editor, and insert the following below the first line of the file: auth sufficient pam_tid.so Then, obviously, save the file and change the permissions back with “chmod 444 sudo”. Finally, without exiting the root shell, open another terminal window with Command-N and run sudo -i to test it. You can revert the change if it doesn’t work as intended (without locking yourself out of root access). -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
