Macbook Pro Biometric to Windows VM

Running Fusion 11 on Macbook Pro 2018 (Mojave, 10.14.4). How do I pass-thru the fingerprint logon capability to my guest Win10 VM?

This capability is currently not possible.

A solution would be to use a USB biometric device and pass that to the Guest/VM.

So this last post was two years ago. Has there been any advance on this? I am using Dual core Intel i5 chip with Ventura OS 13.0.1 on Host and Windows 10 Home on guest.

No, it's not possible because of how the biometrics work - they're specifically designed so that they can't be extended in the way you're looking for.
