[VanEdward]

Setting up Touch ID on your Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID is straightforward. First, ensure your Mac is updated to macOS 11.4 or later and is equipped with an Apple silicon chip. Next, connect your Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID to your Mac. You can do this with the included USB-C to Lightning cable or via Bluetooth. Then, navigate to 'System Preferences' from the Apple menu on your Mac. Within System Preferences, select 'Touch ID'. Click the '+' button located under the 'Fingerprint' section to begin adding a fingerprint. Follow the prompts, placing your finger on the Touch ID sensor found on the right side of the keyboard. You'll be instructed to lift and reposition your finger until the setup is complete. You can add more fingerprints by repeating the process. With Touch ID configured, you can effortlessly unlock your Mac, authorize App Store purchases, and securely handle online payments.
