Publisher Description
Jamf Unlock is a mobile app that allows you to unlock your Mac without using a password. With Jamf Unlock, you complete a setup process to generate identity credentials (a certificate) on your mobile device and pair the device with your Mac. Once complete, you can use the app to authenticate for:

- Commands executed with root privileges with the sudo command
IT administrators can use Jamf Pro to customize the look and feel of the app, configure authentication settings via managed app configuration, and deploy the app to users. Jamf Unlock is an iOS app to extend the Jamf Connect product for passwordless authentication on the Mac.
