TouchID does support elevating privileges, but as of now, it only seems to be supported in Apple's own apps. My guess is that 3rd party apps will have to be updated to support it, unfortunately. I still end up typing in my password a lot.
This PAM module will let you use TouchID for sudo in the terminal: https://github.com/hamzasood/pam_touchid
