CommentHow to allow Touch ID to authenticate for Sudo commands on Mac

Brilliant. Thanks!

Would it at all be possible to do on a Linux server when on ssh onto a server?

Thanks for the comment, if you SSH into your machine it will fall back to just use your password since you can't send your TouchID fingerprints over SSH

Thamaraiselvam Yes I thought so and I realised you already wrote that in the article, but I missed it. Doh! I wish in the future that it will be possible to forward a text string from the touch ID based on which server you are connected to. But that's another story.
