Every day Touch ID seems to work less and less well for me.
But, as annoying as that is, there’s a bright side — as my fingerprints disappear my crimes will become more numerous and successful.
@brentsimmons I was musing just the other day and how much I enjoy using Face ID that I forgot I really can’t use my pointer fingers for Touch ID due to calluses. So when my new Mac Studio arrived with Touch ID on the keyboard, it took me a while to figure out why it rarely worked. Then I remembered to set it up instead with my middle finger. #Inappropriate
@leebennett Good tip — I'll try that. I don't have much optimism, because I think the wearing-down is a problem for all my fingers, but maybe it will work.
@Medievalist You’d think, but it’s an issue on every single device, clean or not, new or not. I think it’s more just a thing about aging.
@brentsimmons Another tip I have heard is to record the same finger multiple times as a new finger. Personally it's been fine for me on an older iPad and a new MBP, but 🤷🏻♂️.
