Touch ID can be used in place of a traditional Duo push while on Chrome and Firefox for Mac OS, but it requires additional setup.

Before Touch ID can be added to your Duo account, you must:

• Have Touch ID setup on your device, this can be done following Apple's instructions here.
• Request access to enroll in Touch ID for Duo by contacting T&I at ti@davidson.edu.

Once you receive confirmation from T&I that your account has access, you will have two days to complete the device enrollment process. After that, your access to the "Manage Devices" tab will be automatically revoked.
