Show HN: PanicLock – Close your MacBook lid disable TouchID –> password unlock | Hacker News

PanicLock is a macOS utility that can instantly disable Touch ID and lock the screen without ending your session.

It offers quick access through a menu bar button, hotkey, or automatic action when the laptop lid closes.

The Hacker News discussion centered on the risks of biometric unlock, especially when a password provides stronger protection.

The app aims to fill a practical security gap by letting users switch to password-only access in sensitive situations.
