Mac Mini fingerprint reader

Is there a fingerprint reader that will work with Mac Mini? I would like to be able to unlock with fingerprint.

Also can I unlock it with my Apple Watch?

Apple Watch to approve Safari Password autofill? I have dual monitor setup, with the MacBook Pro laptop closed, thus I have no access to the built-in keyboard, thus the Touch ID fingerprint reader. I use my Apple Watch to unlock the Mac, and approve some requests (like unlock the changes in system preferences). That's all good. The only thing missing is the ability to auto fill passwords on Safari with Touch ID. Is there a way to do this? thanks!

troubles with Touch ID fingerprint will not unlock MacBook Pro Recently since the release of the iPhone 11 and the release of the new software I have not been able to unlock my MacBook Pro with my fingerprint that I have always had on my ID. So I have deleted it several times, and went in and replaced it. Now, I do have dry skin with the weather here, but my fingerprint is still the same. Why is this happening to me? It really stinks that I have to type in my password every time I want into my Mac unless I am wearing my watch that unlocks it, and even that sometimes does not work 100% of the time. Ugh the struggle is real and I am so tired of this! Anyone else having these issues?
