This is an out of place post but I figured if setting up Touch ID with sudo on my MacBook Pro stumped me that it would cause others issues and worth a quick write up. Also worth having around when I get a new MacBook Pro in the future.

So to start, I use a MacBook Pro M2 Pro for my daily driver machine at work. It is the closest I can get to a Linux machine in the office. I end up using sudo frequently enough that I liked the idea of Touch ID rather than type a password in a dialog. I encountered a couple of hiccups along the way with tmux, iTerm2 and DisplayLink that had to be fixed.

Recently, I have been bouncing between my two home office spaces, hotels and an occasional visit to a cubical in my companies building. My home office spaces are nicely equipped with dual 28” or larger monitors (which I’ll post about later), full office desks. I went overboard on some really nice high-end office chairs years ago as a business I worked for went under and sold off equipment and furniture. So my home office space is often nicer than what is provided at most businesses.
