Touch ID

Hello, does anyone know if you can use Touch ID on a Mac Mini (latest model) and if so can you recommend a compatible fingerprint sensor, presumably USB? Thanks!

Mac mini 2018 or later

Is it possible to use a 3rd party fingerprint reader to work with Touch ID? I am trying to get my mac off of my desk, into a cabinet when it operates. I love Touch ID - and have USBs built into my desk. Does touch id work/support 3rd party fingerprint readers? I purchased the magic keyboard only to find out I would need to purchase a new mac for it to work. :-(

How to use Touch ID on desktop while computer is closed 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, A
