I checked if the Touch ID keyboard included with the iMac 24 inch can be used on other M1 Macs.

The iMac's first "iMac 24 -inch" model has a Touch ID button on the new Magic Keyboard button.I checked if this was available on other Macs.

Apple has updated Apple Platform Security and added "Magic Keyboard with Touch ID".

Actually, I tried whether the Magic Keyboard equipped with the Touch ID attached to the iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021) / 8 core GPU can be used on another Mac equipped with Apple M1 chips.

If you pair the Magic Keyboard with a Touch ID to MacBook Air (M1, 2020), "Keyboard is connected, the keyboard is wirelessly connected to this Mac. You can unlock this Mac with a Touch ID."It will be done.

It is unlocked by placing a finger registered with the built -in Touch ID of the MacBook Air (M1, 2020) in the Touch ID of the Magic Keyboard with a Touch ID.

The fingerprint information is encrypted and preserved by the Secure Enclave of the M1 chip, and the mathematical expression is generated from the fingerprint read by the Touch ID Magic Keyboard type touch sensor, and the registered fingerprint data.It is comparable and uniform when it matches.

As before, the MacBook Air (M1, 2020) built -in Touch ID can be unlocked.

Mac mini (M1, 2020) does not have a "Touch ID" item in the system environment settings, but when connecting Magic Keyboard equipped with a Touch ID, a guide to perform the main unit authentication is displayed before setting the Touch ID.Press the power two times to display the fingerprint authentication setting item of the Touch ID.

After setting, Wallet can be enabled.

The Magic Keyboard equipped with this Touch ID is only a bundle to the iMac, and it has not been announced whether to sell it alone.
