Before you buy

tinyTouch works with any Mac, including Mac mini and Mac Studio, which don't have Touch ID. It has two modes: HID and PIV/PAM.

HID mode

HID mode types your password after a fingerprint match. It works anywhere your password is accepted, but the password is typed into the focused field.

PIV/PAM mode

PIV/PAM mode presents tinyTouch as a USB smart card. It supports login and sudo where macOS accepts smart cards.

macOS requires a PIV PIN. tinyTouch types the dummy PIN 000000 after a fingerprint match. This PIN is not your Mac password.

Security note

In both modes, the fingerprint sensor connects to the ESP over unauthenticated UART. The sensor can be spoofed.
