Hi there - does the Touch ID feature only work with Parallels instances of Windows 10? Or, can it be customized to work with Linux installs too? When I was reviewing the literature, I thought that it'd be great to be able to use touch to login to VMs, but I'm not seeing that as a possibility on Linux VMs. Looking back at the literature, it appears that only Windows 10 is supported, and even that might not allow OS logins. But, I want to be sure - on a 14-day trial of version 13... Thanks John
Hi John, as of today Touch ID is supported for authenticating as Mac administrator only, i.e. for approving changes made to VM configuration + security features, no OS logins. Despite that Microsoft Windows has several APIs for this feature (and there's fprint for Linux), keep in mind that we do not have a direct access to Touch ID sensor but only a framework that macOS provides, so it's not that easy but we keep investigating possibilities.
