touchid

So. I just received my brand new iPad Air 6 13inch. I’ve owned basically every other iPad Air so far, still rocking the M1 Air 5. Upon registering my fingerprint, I noticed the TouchID button had some wiggle room. It felt like it could wiggle way more than the M1 Air 5. It’s working ok, but it...

Hello everyone! Longtime MacRumors lurker, first time poster here…but been with Apple/Mac for a long time. (My first Mac was a Performa 6116CD!) Anyhow…I’m faced with the sobering reality that my iPhone SE (Gen2) is not going to live forever. I have long resisted FaceID, as I like the tactile...

I run my Macbook Pro with M1 Max in clamshell mode most of the time and have a Caldigit TS4 Thunderbolt dock and Apple Studio Display connected. Until recently, I was able to unlock the Mac using my external Touch ID Magic Keyboard. Now this seems no longer possible. I have to enter the password...

After I put my MacBook on sleep and leaving it idle (with lid open) for around 15mins, when I try to wake it up by placing (not pressing) the finger on touchID, it doesn't respond regardless of it being plugged or unplugged. And instead when I press the touchID , the screen flashes for...

Well, this is embarrassing. I, Timm Kook, am having to post on a forum here about an issue with a 2021 MacBook Pro, 16", M1 Max chip. Here's the issue: When plugged into MagSafe, and I lock the screen or close the lid for more than about 5-10 mins and come back, I CANNOT use TouchID to unlock...

All, I'm sticking with my iPhone 8 plus. We (the big international we) will have masks for at least three more years. 13 has nothing more but for high-end users. You go!... Bloomberg says weakest upgrade yet. Nothing wrong with face ID, but c'mon. The world has changed. We need a phone adapted...

I just got mine to work with my MacBook Pro and a Dell monitor. It works well. Setting up the first Touch ID is non intuitive. See more here: The finger print is stored in the enclave, so fingers programmed on either MacBook or Magic keyboard work on the other. But you do have to have a free...

After I updated my iPad Air 2 to iPadOS 13.4, when I unlock using TouchID, the iPad unlocks to the home screen when previously it used to show ‘Unlocked’ at the status bar and i could browse the notifications. It previously used to unlock to the home screen only when I clicked home button and...

Hi, thinking about getting an Apple Watch. Does the Auto Unlock feature only unlock the computer or does it also function like touchID on MacBooks where it will authenticate password autofills as well? Thank you

We all know that Apple had tried waterproof technology on iPhone 6 before it officially announced that iPhone 7 is water-resistant. This just got me to think that maybe Apple has always tested its innovative technologies in its current generations to test their features and then release the next...

I am having a new MacBook Pro running Mojave 10.14.3. Touch ID is working great however every Tuesday morning Touch ID requires the password. This happened on the last three Tuesday mornings, although I am working on my mac every day. According to Apple docs this shouldn't be the case because...

Hi, I have an Iphone 6s plus and I had to replace the touch ID from another broken 6s plus which had a perfect working Touch ID since mine was broken. It is not possible to activate the touch ID of another Iphone for mine. I have found out from some research that the touch id is linked to the...

TouchID has been available on Macs for over two years now, so why do I have to keep entering my password for things like Keychain Access? Surely that would have been one of the first system components which could have taken full advantage of the new authentication feature? I'm setting up a new...

Hi everyone! When I wake up my Mac by pressing any key or open a lid I saw this (Touch ID doesn't appears): One second later I just press ESC and again wakeup by pressing any key Touch ID immediately appears: This is definitely a BUG. On High Sierra this bug never appears, it all started...

Okay, so I recently got into the world of repairing modern smartphones, and so far I've replaced the battery, wifi antenna (upper) and the flex antenna below the logic board, as well as just recently replacing the LCD screen, to which I swapped my original Home Button into the new LCD assembly...

Hi Everyone, This is my first post, apologies if I am not following correct protocol on this. I have a funny issue that has begun occurring recently on my Macbook Pro Late 2016 (with Touchbar): When I am not logged in, or when I am in the lock screen, the Touchbar buttons change from the...

Hi there, To give you a bit of background : I previously had a 15" 2016 rMBP with Touch Bar at my old job, I left the job and I have recently been working on my older personal MacBook Air from home with my new business. Yesterday I took delivery of a 13" 2017 rMBP. I had some huge issues with...

Can someone give tips on optimal setup for faceid? It's extremely frustrating how often faceid is failing to recognize me. i've redone setup like 10 times already. the biggest problem seems to be it only works in the conditions i did the original setup. These are some of the things that make...

Hey guys, am trying to wrap my head around as to why authenticating via TouchID to expand notifications are not available for iPhone 8 and older devices? I mean, that’s basically the same premise right? Apple’s actually halfway there when they introduced and option in Accessibility to remain on...

I'm seeing a lot of mixed reviews about Face ID compared to Touch ID and a lot of people saying they prefer Touch ID. I am curious to why? From past devices Touch ID was far from perfect for me. Most of the time it wouldn't work and thats with 4 fingerprints set up 2 on each thumb. This is...
