MacBook – Unlock keychain with Touch ID

keychainmacbook protouch-id

Is there a way to authenticate with Touch ID instead of password on Macbook Pro when I need to unlock the keychain?

Natively, I believe MacOS prohibits this in order to increase security (Touch ID is less secure than a standard passcode in most situations). However, I know there's and app called Unlox (http://unlox.it) that will let you unlock your Keychain using Touch ID on your iPhone. This leads me to believe it is possible to do this with a 3rd party application of some kind.
