DroidID

DroidID is an Android app that lets you unlock your Mac with your device's fingerprint sensor, making it very convenient and easy for you to unlock your iMac/Macbook/Macbook Pro/Macbook Air.
DroidID unlocks your Mac when:


- Your Mac is sleeping
- Your Mac has a screensaver running
- You resume your Mac from sleep by moving the mouse or pressing a key

DroidID will not unlock your Mac when:


- On first boot-up
- When you manually lock your Mac (i.e clicking on your name on the status bar and then clicking 'Login Window....'

If you want DroidID to start up every time you start your Mac, please add the application to Login items under Users & Groups in System Preferences on your Mac

Requirements for using DroidID:


- Mac client app (can be downloaded from suyashsrijan.com/droidid). Please move the client app to your Mac's Applications folder after downloading
- Android device running Marshmallow (or above), or a Samsung device running Lollipop (or above)a
- A Mac running El Capitan (10.11) or above

Note: Support for Windows is on the way, due to the nature of how security works on Windows, it's a little challenging to get it working there, but I am working hard to make a Windows client available as soon as possible. Please do not leave negative reviews because Windows isn't supported.

Security:

DroidID takes security seriously. Your password is stored on your Mac itself, in Keychain. To verify, if you open Keychain on your Mac, you'll see an entry for "com.suyashsrijan.DroidID". You can double click it to view its properties, and it will ask you to enter your password to see the password that is stored by the app. Since Keychain encrypts everything it stores, your password is also encrypted. Your fingerprints are not stored by the app, they are only read from your phone. The app only checks your scanned fingerprint against the ones registered on your device.

I had heard so much about this app, so I downloaded it. Never worked, when clicking on the icon in the icon bar it blinks on the screen, but was never able to enter the code to pair phone and my mac. Great idea and concept but would need some more service design and better UX features.

For a security related app that hasn't been updated since 2017, it works fairly well and even on beta versions of Android 11 and Big Sur. Unfortunately even with Android 10, the app only works once to unlock and then you have to close the app out and restart it. Never the less, if you have a Mac with no Apple Watch, no iPhone, and no Touch ID, this Android Mac unlocker can get the job done.

Great app/concept but very flawed. The app itself has to be closed/re-opened everytime you want to re-authenticate (yuck!) Also the mac client is flawed. If the screen is locked and awake, then it works fine. If the screen is locked but off (aka black screen) then the app doesnt put the password in correctly and the laptop stays locked. There is also no "launch at system startup" option for the mac client.

App only works one time to unlock the screen on the Mac. If the Mac re-locks automatically it thinks it is already locked and you have to kill the app to get it to work again. Also, the email address in the app to email the developer does not work. Additionally the linked website generates a security alert for an invalid SSL cert. I also really question the security model behind this app, in essence your phone makes a call to their site, and their site in turn makes a call to the app on your computer to unlock your computer. If the site was compromised, someone could unlock all computers that have this installed. And who knows what else the app is or can do.

This is an amazing app that helped me establish Fingerprint Connection between my Cousins Mac Computer and my Phone using the Android Fingerprint Scanner. The app itself has an inbuilt capability and requires a software to be installed to the Mac to operate and to be allowed to access the keyring. The softwares background is black and contains detailed instruction on how to use it together with a very user-friendly interface as well; I would recommend this app for your next usage.

this is an amazing app,which helps me a lot I really hope this can work offline such as using Bluetooth, or local WiFi.that will make this perfect like everyone mentioned, sometime I have to reopen the app to able to get the unlock Page that's a little annoying. I really wish dear developer cab fix this and add the offline support. Thank you for making such a great app.

Works, which is better than the competition, but pretty useless as it takes longer to open your phone than your laptop unless your password is ungodly long. Also no way of locking. Stars just for functionality as Mac apps are designed by lazy, greedy morons generally.

it is very fast at reading my fingerprint. however it would be better if it worked straight away from booting up my mac, and also if it woke up my mac a bit faster. still it is a very useful app

Art. F. Jun 25, 2019     

very ineteresting idea, but when i trying to unlock mac, correct password inserting from second try. first password is incorrect, i see it by password lenght!!! what is wrong? reinstall applications on mac and phone didnt fix..

Does what it says! Too good. Absolutely helpful. Suggestion: There should be an offline version too. Use with BT / WiFi.

Hen. H. Jan 21, 2019     

Works like a charm for me, although it doesnt seem to work with every kind of password. You should check to escape all chars that could have other meanings

works with MacOS Catalina and Android10 homescreen. However, unlock on locked screen doesn't work well. app says "waiting". hope fix it

Man. G. Jun 7, 2019     

It's great but with face recognition would be better, and that we can use it anytime we want to write the password. Thank a lot.

Amazing work. Android Pie + Mojave - it's working for me. Simple and lucid. Straightforward Permissions.

Rah. K. Apr 19, 2019     

Can not trust the app. (1- app is not on official store. 2- the website is not secure) + App dont work fine always.

Gav. R. May 21, 2020     

Well was great but it doesn't seem to work on phones with an inscreen fingerprint sensor like my OnePlus 6T. Maybe one day

Ami. R. Jul 6, 2021

Nir. L. Sep 28, 2019     

This app is beyond awesome. Great work, man. Love this. Using it 24x7.

Tim. M. Jan 6, 2020     

Works as they claim, read carefully before judging. Only thing missing is a widget.

Shi. V. S. May 14, 2020     

Seems to be working great you should also add face I'd

Let me is this good

Ama. C. Jan 15, 2018     

Love this app! I use it a lot especially when I'm lying down in bed. There is just one thing I would love addressed: scanning and unlocking can only be done once. If this app is already running in the background, I'll need to close it and open it again. Too many steps!

A. P. Jun 29, 2017     

Well, I love being able to have a quicker login... but my experience with fingerprint scanners has been unreliable. I wish I could just click 'OK' in the phone (which is locked by whatever method I choose).
