TouchID not prompted when running sudo in tmux #6

As the title says, inside tmux I'm still prompted with Password: instead of having the TouchID window show up.

Sounds logical in terms of security. Anyway, I tried some things and got tmux to stop asking for sudo password by running sudo tmux instead of just tmux initially.

That actually displays the TouchID window. The downside is that anything that is run inside a sudo tmux session has super-user access without any prompt. Not so good, but someone (like myself) may find it useful.
