I'm currently using authorization services in a factored app(user mode app + privileged helper tool). When performing a privilged operation, the user is prompted for their password. How can I also allow authentication through touch ID?Additional info:Device: MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017)macOS version: 10.13.4 (17E202)The code is adapted from the EvenBetterAuthorizationSample, so nothing fancy going on there.I also dug around a bit through /usr/libexec/authopen which does allow the user to choose between TouchID and password. If use codesign to change it's signature, only the password prompt is shown. Am I correct to assume that this feature is currently available only for Apple signed applications/binaries?As an alternative, I also fiddled around with LocalAuthentication which works great for a standalone app, but does it provide a way of passing the context between processes, as with AuthorizationMakeExternalForm?
