Computers that have the Apple T2 Security Chip
If the user is using a Touch ID Enabled Apple Keyboard - the Touch ID Feature will not function on this computer
If you own an iMac Pro, or a Mac mini, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro model introduced in 2018 or later, your Mac has one of Apple’s T2 security chips inside. On the whole, having a T2 chip in your Mac is a good thing, thanks to significantly increased security and other benefits, but there are some ramifications that you may not realize.
What Is a T2 Chip?
Let’s step back briefly. In late 2016, Apple introduced the T2’s predecessor, the T1, in the first Touch Bar–equipped MacBook Pros. The T1 offered three primary capabilities:
- Management of the Touch Bar’s Touch ID fingerprint sensor and storage of sensitive biometric information
- Integration of the System Management Controller, which is responsible for heat and power management, battery charging, and sleeping and waking the Mac
- Detection of non-Apple hardware
