Biometrics support

[e.comanici]

Why must Local ask for password every time on biometric devices? For example, Macs have had a fingerprint scanner for quite a while now, yet local asks every time for a password when other apps support asking for fingerprints.

Is it really necessary that I type my password every time?..

Local Authentication Using Touch ID (macOS)

With how often Local requests for the administrator password it would be really great if those prompts could be passed using Touch ID instead of typing the password all the time.

Hi @e.comanici - I’m going to merge this with the feature request @afragen shared.

Thank you!
