Use TouchID to Authenticate Sudo on macOS
Does watch unlock now work natively with pam_tid? I know as of at least a few months ago it would only work if you could use touch ID, i.e. when the laptop was open. If it was docked, it would fall back to password auth.
I wrote a patcher that changed this behavior, it patched pam_tid directly on your system and just updates the API Apple calls to allow unlocking with watch-only when touch ID is unavailable:

Was a fun reverse engineering experience and wrote up some more info in the README.

Like https://github.com/kryptco/kr [key stored in a [...] mobile app]?
Also, newer Macs have a Secure Enclave (supports 256-bit secp256r1 ECC keys):

How often should I rotate my SSH keys?
Similar to the recommendations to use a YubiKey/hardware token, SeKey on a Mac lets you use a key generated in the Secure Enclave in an unexportable form (https://github.com/sekey/sekey)
