Concept
If you are smart, you lock your computer when you aren’t using it, especially if you tend to take it out of the house. However, locking a computer can be a pain if the password is too complex. If your energy saving settings put your computer to sleep after just a few minutes, it’s even worse (you know what I mean, right?).
With MacID, you can simply use your fingerprint to unlock your screen. That way, you can set as complex a password as you like and still be able to unlock it with just a tap.
App Use
After downloading the iOS app, download the Mac companion from http://macid.co/get. Once installed, open the iOS app first. You’ll see that there are no connected devices. Then, open the OS X app. You will see the name of your iOS device listed under Connected Devices on your Mac app. Select that device.
Once paired, enter your Mac’s password to enable the ability to unlock it. Then, you are ready to go.
You can now lock your Mac in three new ways, either choose “Lock Screen” from the available options in the MacID app for OS X, swipe to the left on the selected computer in the iOS app and tap “Lock,” or turn on “Auto-lock when away from Mac” in the OS X app menu.
An extra added feature is that if you don't have your iPhone or iPad nearby but do have a Magic Trackpad, you can set up Tap To Unlock, which uses a pre-set pattern of finger taps (like two fingers, one finger, three fingers) to authorize unlocking the Mac.
The third options is a great idea for ensuring that you don’t forget to lock the screen when you leave your desk, but you’ll have to remember to bring your iPhone with you.
There are also new ways to unlock your Mac now. When you first wake your computer, you will receive a notification from MacID for iOS that your computer is requesting authorization. Swipe to the left to open the option menu, and then tap “Authorize.” Then, use Touch ID or your iPhone’s password to unlock it.
You can lock, wake, or unlock your Mac via the MacID for iOS app.
Value
MacID for iOS costs $3.99. On first glance, you may think that the app is a bit on the pricey side. However, it is more than just an app for unlocking your computer with Touch ID. You can also lock it and wake it remotely.
I think this app is worth the four dollars, without question. If you have a complex password for unlocking your Mac and wish you could make the process easier, you’ll agree that it is worth the price. Download MacID in the App Store today.
