Magic Keyboard for 13-inch MacBook Pro

The Touch Bar at the top of the Magic Keyboard on the 13-inch MacBook Pro displays a set of tools that changes based on what you’re doing. Touch ID (the power button) is located on the right side of the Touch Bar. After you set up Touch ID, you can use your fingerprint to unlock MacBook Pro, quickly lock your screen, or make purchases from the App Store, Apple TV app, and Apple Books, and on websites using Apple Pay.

You can set up Touch ID during setup, or later in the Touch ID pane of System Preferences. To set keyboard and Touch Bar preferences, open System Preferences, click Keyboard, then click the buttons at the top to see the available options.
