Similar to the iPhone or iPad, the Mac allows you to set up multiple fingerprints. This can be useful, for example, if you alternate your thumb with your index finger when authenticating, or when multiple users log in to your Mac. To set up a second fingerprint, click on menu -> System settings. On the left, click on Touch ID and password, move to the main window System Settings, click Pmanage imprint and follow the instructions on the screen.
