Use fingerprint as sudo on Mac
Why
Using sudo on any linux device can raise the risk level substantially.
Using your fingerprint already enrolled on the mac prevents someone from being able to type your password in when you're not around
How
Edit the below file in your favourite editor
The file /etc/pam.d/sudo
should look something like below
# sudo: auth account password session
auth sufficient pam_smartcard.so
auth required pam_opendirectory.so
account required pam_permit.so
password required pam_deny.so
session required pam_permit.so
Add the below line just under # sudo: auth account password session
Your file should now look like the below
# sudo: auth account password session
auth sufficient pam_tid.so
auth sufficient pam_smartcard.so
auth required pam_opendirectory.so
account required pam_permit.so
password required pam_deny.so
session required pam_permit.so
Save the file using the below commands
Control x + y
+ enter
Escape + :wq!
+ enter
