Describe the solution you'd like

When opening Sniffnet on macOS, it prompts for the system admin password. Can I use Touch ID instead? MacBooks have supported Touch ID for a long time, so I'd like to use it for authentication.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Opening Sniffnet on macOS requires the system password. Is it possible to use Touch ID instead? MacBooks have had Touch ID support for years, and I prefer using fingerprint authentication.
