Are you saying finger prints input & used on MacBook Pro or on a Magic Keyboard?
I know things work well on the MacBook Pro. I am wondering if the Magic Keyboard does as well.
New 25" iMac, but since DW’s fingerprints have been a problem on her earlier iPhones, and even the TSA couldn’t read them reliably, we went to a standard, extended keyboard… Mine, I’m sticking with an older, wired, extended keyboard… So, no experience, so far…

My wife’s Macbook Pro has a built in keyboard as it is a laptop. The upper right key on the keyboard has a biometric sensor that reads fingerprints and unlocks her device like your face id does on an iphone. HTH…doc
