When I excute sudo in ssh, it just freeze and the dialog pop up on the macbook's screen which I cannot click in the ssh.

From the readme:

"If you don't have a Mac with a biometric sensor, sudo-touchid will fail"

If you're overriding your system's sudo, then you will not be able to use sudo over SSH - you can't send your fingerprint through the internet 😛 Best way to get around this would be to rename the binary to something like 'sudo-touchid' or something like that, so that you can use this version of sudo when at your MacBook, but still have access to your system's sudo when using SSH. Hope that helps
