Some time ago users of Apple watches They feature one feature that I particularly love especially if you don't have a Touch ID MacBook Air / Pro: the ability to unlock your Mac using the watch.
Just open the lid of the Mac, move the trackpad or mouse that, when the watch is properly unlocked wrist, the computer recognizes that you and you free use without the need to enter your password.
Still, this communication between Apple Watch and Mac comes down to the initial unlock.
People with a Touch ID Mac can do more things, such as automatically filling in usernames and passwords on forms.
On macOS 10.15, however, Apple should expand its use of Apple Watch as authenticator.
Second Guilherme Rambo, of 9to5Mac Which once again cites sources familiar with the development of macOS, the next version of Apple's desktop operating system will allow users to authenticate other Mac operations beyond just unlocking the machine with the clock.
Rambo said it is unclear what type of authentication will be supported, but it is possible that all operations that can currently be authenticated with Touch ID can also be approved by Apple Watch.
To do so, it is likely that there is a user interface on watchOS to authorize the process, similar to the current Apple Pay confirmation (the user needs to press the side button twice to allow purchase; something much simpler than entering a password), since Doing everything without the user's knowledge does not seem to be so safe.
Or maybe Apple explains how well everything works with a good tutorial on macOS 10.15 and, when authenticating one of these operations, the watch sends only a warning (a new sound or a new blur pattern) to leave the user. aware that Watch was used as a password (and no interaction is really needed, just how Mac unlocking works today).
We'll get to know this and other news from macOS 10.15, iOS 13, watchOS 6 and tvOS 13 at WWDC19, which will take place between June 3rd and 7th.
