Description
The title pretty much says it all. It would be great to allow client logins with fingerprint auth from TouchID on newer supported MacBook Pros.
Some reference: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/localauthentication
As it happens, the same library (`LocalAthentication`) is used for iOS as well.
