This will hopefully become obsolete in the near future. If you're on a recent MacBook (with TouchID), using the current version of Chrome, and using a website that supports the new WebAuthn standard (e.g. GitHub) then you get this for free; you can authenticate through TouchID.

It also works with any of the Windows Hello authenticators (fingerprint, face recognition, or traditional security keys)

I just tried on Github and it works. This is amazing.

Does this tie your login just to that specific MacBook?

Yes. You should ensure you have another way of logging in. You can enroll multiple webauthn authenticators, totp tokens, etc.
