It's also a step backward in authentication strength, not forward. NIST's guidance on this treats real multi-factor security as combining something you know with something you are or have. Touch ID plus a password is two factors, a password manager by itself is one. And Touch ID isn't just gating the password manager. It's also handling FileVault, sudo, Apple Pay, and increasingly passkeys, which are becoming the standard replacement for passwords industry-wide. Passkeys rely on a hardware-bound key in the Secure Enclave that's only released by a local biometric or PIN gesture, so a Mac without Touch ID is worse positioned for where authentication is actually heading, not better.
There's a usability angle too, and it matters more than people give it credit for. Fast biometric unlock is exactly what makes it tolerable to use a genuinely long, hard-to-guess master password instead of something short and memorable. Take away the convenience and you create real pressure toward weaker passwords just so unlocking your laptop doesn't become a chore. So the claim isn't wrong that a password manager helps, it's wrong to think it makes biometrics optional. It solves one problem while quietly making a different one worse.
Dismissing Touch ID because you use a password manager is like removing the deadbolt because you installed a nicer doorknob.
Password managers were great in 2012 and they are still a fine tool, but we've moved past one long passphrase to protect everything.
All these refurbished sellers are hit or miss, with few of them forthright about the condition. These are 6 year old, heavily used laptops being resold after test and wipe. Stock photos of a brand new model on the listing suggest a apple refurbished level of quality.
Mine has scratches, dents in several corners, and rough edges. 88% battery health. I suppose this is moderate wear. I should have just checked Facebook marketplace first, as I'd pay less and know what I'm getting.
