Emergency Lockdown: PanicLock Disables Touch ID Instantly

PanicLock addresses a critical security gap in macOS by enabling instant password-only authentication through one-click Touch ID disabling or automatic lid closure. This capability is invaluable for high-risk environments—journalists, activists, and security professionals—who need rapid security enforcement without biometric bypass. The open-source architecture and minimal-privilege design demonstrate security-first engineering principles, making it an important reference for macOS security tools.
