MBP 15,2 security lag
egore24 opened this issue · 6 comments
Hello DV. Thanks for the excellent work!
I have been working with using a SMBIOS for MBP 15,2 and have run your script to disable TouchID daemons, but there is still a significant lag when a system level (or third party app) password is required to be entered. I can confirm this is isolated to the MBP 15,2 profile as with a MBP 14,1 the lag is not present. Any ideas on how to eliminate the security prompts lag in 15,2? Thanks much.
Test the following and confirm which works:
sudo bioutil -s -u 0
It will generate an error because its unable to communicate with the security chip.
Reboot.
If that doesn't work:
sudo launchctl remove -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.biometrickitd.plist
sudo launchctl remove -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.biokitaggdd.plist
Reboot.
If that doesn't work:
sudo rm /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.biometrickitd.plist
sudo rm /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.biokitaggdd.plist
Reboot.
Thanks for the quick reply! It appears the last one listed:
If that doesn't work:
sudo rm /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.biometrickitd.plist
sudo rm /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.biokitaggdd.plist
Reboot.
Is the one that works. Thanks again!
Thank you for testing that out, I'll update the XPS9360.sh script to reflect this.
In case you are curious, this essentially disables the biometric service daemons in macOS.
Because they are no longer running the GUI does not spend time looking for biometric devices through these services, but rather immediately fails over to password only authentication.
Thank you for the explanation. It's good to know the reason behind.
Hey DV. I hope you are well and have fixed your lid/screen issue on your machine.
Just a note here that it appears this fix hasn't been placed into the repo yet. Wanted to remind you in the event you forgot. Thanks again.
I did forget. Its committed now.
