NoTouchID

Lilu plugin for disabling Touch ID support.

BiometricKit.framework in 10.13.4+ assumes a Touch ID sensor is present when a compatible board ID is used, which causes lag in authentication dialogs (as well as a delayed login screen). Patching this out resolves such hangs.

This issue appears to have been fixed on 10.15.7 and 11.0.1. This kext is unnecessary on these versions of macOS.

Configuration

  • Add -nobiooff to disable NoTouchID
  • Add -nobiobeta to enable NoTouchID on unsupported OS versions (10.13-10.15 are supported by default)

Downloads

Available on the releases page.
