/System/Library/CoreServices/SecurityAgentPlugins/LocalAuthentication.bundle/Contents/MacOS/LocalAuthentication LocalAuthentication framework authenticates users biometrically or with a passphrase they already know.
/System/Library/Frameworks/LocalAuthentication.framework/LocalAuthentication Many users rely on biometric authentication like Face ID or Touch ID to enable secure, effortless access to their devices.

Use the LocalAuthentication framework to leverage these mechanisms in your app and extend authentication procedures your app already implements.
