> Can you explain how touch authentication works? I am not familiar with it.

Generally, in an app, like on a phone, you can enable touch authentication,
which authorizes a stored touch ID on device, such as a phone, to verify your
identity on phones or pads that have fingerprint readers.  You can link sites
to this stored authorization.  If your device can verify your identity, it
tells the site you are the person that is linked to this ID, and the site logs
you in.  I've seen this authorization primarily with apps, but it is probable
that this can be extended to websites.  I don't know if it is implemented on
websites yet, but I am seeing discussion on the topic.
