Yes you can. Under the Apple icon go to System Settings > Touch ID and Password to add additional finger prints.

fingerprint readers work with Macs? I have my MacBook Pro in a raised and I use a separate keyboard. The only this I need the Mac's keyboard for is the fingerprint button, and it's quite a stretch. I'd like to find a fingerprint reader than can be plugged into a cable from the computer. THere are plenty of them but they all say they are for Windows. Are there any that work with the Mac?

External Fingerprint Solution for MacBook Air M1 Connected to an External Display I regularly use my MacBook Air M1 with an external display, and I typically have the laptop closed during this usage. I have encountered a recurring issue where, when asked for identity verification for various applications and services, I am unable to use the built-in fingerprint reader due to the laptop being closed. While the alternative option of typing in my MacBook's password is available, this can be somewhat tedious and time-consuming when done repeatedly. Therefore, I am seeking a more convenient solution to this issue. Are there any third-party external fingerprint reader solutions compatible with the MacBook Air M1 that would allow me to continue using biometric authentication even with the laptop closed? If yes, could you please recommend some of these products, and detail any potential compatibility or security issues I should be aware of? Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions. Also thanks to ChatGPT for helping formulate my question.

Thank you. I found three fingerprints. So I used one for the other person.
