Unlock your Mac with a look.
Mac ID is face unlock for your Mac. Look at your screen and you’re in. No typing.
How it works
From lock screen to desktop, without typing.
01
Your Mac locks. The notch opens.
Mac ID starts looking for you the moment the lock screen appears.
02
It recognises you.
Right on your Mac, usually in under a second.
03
It types your password.
Kept encrypted, and unlocked only by Touch ID.
04
You’re in.
No typing. No waiting.
Features
Fast. Private. Yours.
Under a second.
Recognition usually takes less time than typing your password.
Stays on your Mac.
Your face is recognised on your Mac and never uploaded.
For the whole family.
Enrol everyone who shares your Mac’s login.
Stops photos and videos.
A model trained to spot photos and videos of people checks every unlock, whether the picture is printed, on a phone or on another screen.
Catches intruders.
Turn it on and if someone else sits down at your Mac, it locks, flashes INTRUDER, sounds a siren and saves a photo of them.
Knows who’s looking.
A banner tells you when someone other than you is reading over your shoulder.
Your password, locked down.
Kept in your Mac’s hardware-protected keychain, behind Touch ID. It never leaves your Mac.
Says when it’s too dark.
If the room is too dark for the camera to see you, Mac ID tells you instead of quietly failing.
Password prompts
Your face for password prompts, too.
When macOS asks for your password, like an app asking for permission, Screen Time or a Privacy & Security setting, a “Use Mac ID” button appears under it. Click it, look at your Mac, and your password is filled in.
Optional, and off until you turn it on with your Touch ID or password. Only macOS’s own password windows are filled, and only after you click, so nothing can approve a request without you.
