MacID
MacID is a Mac utility that enables passwordless authentication and remote access control by using your iPhone as a secure key. The app integrates with your Mac to unlock it, authenticate into applications, and manage access without traditional passwords. It's designed for users who want enhanced security through biometric authentication (Face ID/Touch ID) on their iOS device. MacID appeals to security-conscious Mac and iPhone users seeking streamlined, two-factor authentication alternatives and hands-free Mac login experiences.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionMacID appears to be abandoned or no longer actively maintained. The latest known version is 1.1, and there is no evidence of a native Apple Silicon or Universal Binary release from the developer. No actively maintained alternative appears to be the direct successor to MacID. However, for similar passwordless authentication and secure Mac access, consider using built-in macOS features like iCloud Keychain and two-factor authentication, or third-party alternatives such as 1Password (which offers biometric-based app and Mac unlocking), Dashlane, or native Apple's own security and authentication features available in modern macOS versions. These modern solutions provide comparable or superior security without requiring an Intel-era app.
