Using Touch ID:

Here are some things to pay attention to when using Touch ID on your MacBook M2:

Use strong and unique passphrases for your macOS account and Touch ID. This adds an extra layer of security in case your fingerprint is compromised.
Avoid using Touch ID for highly sensitive tasks like online banking, financial transactions, or accessing confidential documents. In such cases, it's best to stick with your password.
Be cautious about enabling Touch ID authentication for third-party apps. Only grant access to trusted apps and avoid those you're unfamiliar with.
Regularly update your macOS software to ensure you have the latest security patches and fixes for any vulnerabilities related to Touch ID.

Fingerprint Data Access:

Apple takes fingerprint security seriously:

Your fingerprint data is stored securely on your device's Secure Enclave chip, a dedicated hardware component designed to protect sensitive information.
Apple doesn't store your fingerprint data in the cloud, further reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Third-party apps cannot access your fingerprint data without your explicit permission.

Bitdefender on macOS:

Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac offers various security features for macOS, including:

Real-time protection against viruses and ransomware
Adware blocking and removal
VPN included for a fast, anonymous and secure online experience - 200 MB/day/device
Protection for all your browsing, including online shopping and banking
Time Machine Protection for your backed-up files in case of a ransomware attack

Note: Bitdefender does not access or store your fingerprint data. Its functionalities are focused on other aspects of your Mac's security.
