The main novelty and the one that attracted the most attention during the keynote that was held on October 27 was the Touch Bar, an OLED touch screen that allows us to increase productivity by being able to use it as a keyboard shortcut for various functions, depending on the application. Apple showed us the possibilities of this panel through Final Cut and Photoshop in addition to music editing software, three of the main uses that are usually given to the Pro range of MacBook. But in addition, Apple also introduced the Touch ID, located at the end on the right side of the Touch Bar and will allow us to verify our identity when we make payments through Safari with Apple Pay.
The Touch ID also allows us to change users quickly, if there are several people who have access to it. The developers of 1Password, AgileBits, they have already got down to work and have begun to adapt their application to be compatible With this new function, which will allow us to unlock access to the application by clicking on the fingerprint sensor, as we can currently do with the fingerprint sensor of our iPhone or iPad. It will also allow us to establish the type of data we want to save (notes, password, credit card) and launch web services directly.
Also the TouchBar It will suggest secure passwords each time we sign up for a service or we want to change the current password, so that we will only have to click on it to be able to establish it for the service. The use of the Touch ID of the new MacBook will increase the security of the application in the new MacBook Pro, a function that the guys at AgileBits have not yet been able to test but say they are very eager to be able to use it as soon as the first ones. MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and Touch ID hit the market.
