Why can't I find Touch ID in the desktop app?

Touch ID unlock came to the desktop app in version 0.16.0. On an older version, there’s no setting for it.

Turn it on

1. Update Bramble: choose Bramble → Check for Updates… in the menu bar.
2. Unlock with your master password.
3. Open Settings → Security and turn on Touch ID.

It works on that Mac only. Your master password keeps working too. See Ways to unlock your vault for the other options.

The switch is greyed out

If it says Set up Touch ID on this device to use this., your Mac has no fingerprint set up, or no Touch ID sensor. Add a fingerprint in your Mac’s System Settings, under Touch ID & Password, then open Settings → Security in Bramble again.

Granting Bramble Accessibility access in your Mac’s Privacy & Security settings doesn’t change this. Touch ID doesn’t use it.
