Is Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID necessary for Vision Pro?

I'm finally going to start using my Vision Pro for work e.g. mainly coding, and was wondering if Touch ID on Magic Keyboard is necessary? I typically work off my Macbook Pro, and Touch ID is extremely handy e.g. all the authentication and logging into various sites, services etc.

Just to clarify, I will not be using my Macbook Pro with Mac Virtual Display but rather the Vision Pro directly. Coding will be done via a remote server on the Vision Pro, so will only need a keyboard. Reason I'm enquiring is that Vision Pro can authenticate with your eyes, so is that sufficient or is it still better e.g. faster or more convenient to use Touch ID?

Would appreciate any thoughts from devs that use Vision Pro for coding? Thanks!
