MacID

by @akshithio

MacID – Bringing Face ID to the Mac Hi HN! Since Macs have no Face ID, I built MacID: look at the webcam, press Return on the lock screen and you’re in. It runs fully on device and if anything fails, TouchID and the password prompt still work. However, since a webcam isn’t a depth sensor, a good photo can fool it (so I include a “require a blink” option). Free & open source: https://macid.akshith.io
