Implement Mac Touch ID Integration for Enhanced Security in Warp Terminal #5228

Dupe Check

Describe the solution you'd like?

Warp should integrate Mac Touch ID for security purposes. This feature would allow users to authenticate themselves securely when starting the app, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access, especially in cases where the system might be compromised. Finger ID would enable a seamless yet secure startup process, enhancing the overall safety of the terminal environment.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Without additional authentication, such as Mac Finger ID, there is a risk that unauthorized users could access Warp if they gain physical or virtual access to the system. Integrating Finger ID would provide an essential layer of security, ensuring that only the authorized user can start and use Warp.

Additional context

Given the critical role of the terminal in development environments and the sensitive information often handled within it, adding Mac Finger ID would enhance security significantly. This feature aligns with the need for modern security practices in development tools, making Warp both powerful and secure.

How important is this feature to you?
