# Introducing Dashboard Touch, a build-your-own version of Touch ID

[Link →](https://www.anildash.com/2026/08/20/introducing-dashboard-touch/)

> For years, I’ve wanted to have a standalone version of Apple’s Touch ID authentication feature for my Mac, but without having to use an Apple keyboard.

[Anil Dash](https://www.anildash.com/) hat sich einen Finderabdrucksensor gebaut, der sein Passwort eingibt. Ich selbst bin ja großer Fan des kabellosen Touch-ID-Keyboards von Apple, aber das ist auf jeden Fall [ein tolles Projekt](https://github.com/anildash/dashtouch) und wir brauchen definitiv viel mehr DIY-Tech.
