Though security features are often embedded within the processors - as companies like Qualcomm and Intel provide in their chips - more tech giants have been relying on standalone security chips.
The T2 chip was first introduced in the iMac Pro this summer, and adds an extra layer of security for Apple's devices. You'll still need your password if your device is just turning on, or if it hasn't been unlocked for more than 48 hours. Even Apple wouldn't receive that data.Īpple said there's a 1 in 50,000 chance of a false positive with fingerprints on Touch ID for the MacBook. That means all that data, including your passwords and your fingerprint, is stored only on that device and doesn't leave the MacBook Air. Your fingerprint data is encrypted and secured on Apple's T2 security chip, which uses Secure Enclave. Like Touch ID for your iPhone and the MacBook Pro, you can also use the biometric feature to shop using Apple Pay as well as to authenticate third-party apps. The Touch ID on the the new MacBook Air doesn't just unlock your laptop though.
