Discussion
Use this initializer to create a local authentication view and connect it to a particular local authentication context. You typically do this in the doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/appkit/nsviewcontroller/loadview() method of an NSViewController subclass. You then add this view as a subview — along with any text, imagery, and interactive elements that you need — to create a custom authentication interface. When your interface appears, call the LAContext instance’s evaluatePolicy(_:localizedReason:reply:) method to begin the authentication process.
