Hi,
I am planning on setting up a workstation with my 2018 MacBook Air, which I typically use as a laptop. I also use the Touch ID for unlocking my computer which is fast and efficient.
Is there a way to set up an external fingerprint sensor for use? Or will I have to dread entering a password?
Thanks,

If entering a password is so distasteful to you just get an Apple Watch and let it do the unlocking for you, faster than touch id also
