Unlox

Unlox is a super handy tool for keeping your Mac safe and sound. It uses fingerprint-based authentication, which is all about convenience and speed. You know how passwords can be a bit of a hassle? Well, this software lets you lock and unlock your Mac just by tapping on your iOS device's Home button!

How Unlox Works

So here’s the scoop: Unlox (which used to be called MacID) works with your Mac and an iOS device using Bluetooth. When you want to lock or unlock your Mac, all you have to do is place your finger on the Touch ID button of your iPhone or iPad.

Requirements for Using Unlox

To get started with Unlox, you need a couple of things. First, make sure your Mac runs macOS High Sierra or later. Second, you'll need an iOS device that's running iOS 11.2 or newer. Oh, and it should support Apple’s Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) technology! Just keep in mind that if your Mac doesn’t fully support Handoff feature, Unlox might not work perfectly.

No Touch ID? No Problem!

If you don’t have Touch ID on your iOS device but it meets the iOS 11.2 requirement, you can still use Unlox! In this case, just enter the device’s passcode instead of using a fingerprint.
