sudo-touchid

Adds permanent, reliable TouchID fingerprint support to sudo on macOS.

Desktopfreeglobal

A small, dependency-free Bash utility that enables Touch ID to authenticate sudo commands on macOS. It replaces repeated password entry by providing persistent fingerprint authentication across reboots and in tmux/screen (via pam_reattach), aimed at developers and frequent terminal users with Touch ID–equipped Macs; distributed under the EPL-2.0 for self-hosting.
