Yes, the fingerprint sensor is also the power button. If needed to force shutdown the computer, hold it for several seconds.

MacBook pro Hello, I’m trying to power off my MacBook. Anytime I do a shutdown it comes right back on when I click on any key without clicking the power on button after the shutdown is complete . Is there a way to take that option off and only power it on by clicking the power button and vice versa with shutting it down??????????
