How can I use touch ID on Macbook all the time instead of putting password?

I find it useless to have the fingerprint option on my Macbook since every time I try logging in it asks for my password. I don't use my laptop every other day since you know, smartphones are so smart these days. I just would like to feel fancy and use my fingerprint every time I try logging in instead of typing my password. Is that possible? Thank you! Oh and stay awesome ;)

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.5

No.


In particular, you will need to reenter your password every 48 hours:


For security, you need to enter your password when you start your Mac. Sometimes you need to enter your password to continue using Touch ID. For example, users must re-enter their password every 48 hours and after five incorrect fingerprint attempts.
