![]() ![]() ![]() Update April 22nd, 7:54AM ET: Updated to note that the Touch ID sensor on the new Magic Keyboard doesn’t work with the M1-equipped iPad Pro. For example, it started selling the gray keyboard, mouse, and trackpad for anyone to buy in 2018, after previously limiting them to the iMac Pro in 2017. By the way, if you’re not using a iCloud different email address, go to the next solution. That’s a really strange issue but you can fix it. But when you enter your Apple ID password, your Mac says it doesn’t recognize it. As Apple’s press release explains, the new keyboard requires the Secure Enclave in the M1 processor to encrypt the transmitted fingerprint information end-to-end.Īlthough the Touch ID keyboard is currently only available with the new all-in-one, MacRumors notes that Apple has previously opened up exclusive accessories for general sale. After you upgrade your OS, your Mac may prompt you to set up iCloud again. The keyboard itself will reportedly function, just not the biometric security. The bad news for owners of older Macs is that the Touch ID functionality in the new keyboard won’t work with any Intel-based machines. You can only buy them with the M1 Mac (for now?) but you can use them (with Touch ID!) on other M1 Macs, or just as BT keyboards (no Touch ID) on Intel Macs/other devices.
