In macOS Sonoma, the /etc/pam.d/sudo file now starts with

auth       include        sudo_local

and there's a separate sudo_local.template file with the contents

# sudo_local: local config file which survives system update and is included for sudo
# uncomment following line to enable Touch ID for sudo
#auth       sufficient     pam_tid.so

Given this, the security.pam.enableSudoTouchIdAuth module should probably be changed to use environment.etc."pam.d/sudo_local" and then have the sed script check for the sudo_local line and insert that if it's not present. This way on macOS Sonoma the change will persist across OS updates.

I just tested applying this change to my macOS Ventura machine and it works there (as expected), although of course software updates will reset /etc/pam.d/sudo and so it won't persist until macOS Sonoma.

You can add yubikeys as well if you are so inclined. Auth is parsed in order so if yubi fails/times out it falls back to tid next.

# sudo_local: local config file which survives system update and is included for sudo

# yubikey auth
auth       sufficient     /nix/store/.../pam_yubico.so  mode=challenge-response

# uncomment following line to enable Touch ID for sudo
auth       sufficient     pam_tid.so
