Over sensitive trackpad on new MacBook pro

I have a new MacBook pro 13" 2018. The trackpad is so sensitive that windows are opening just by the cursor passing over them. It is very frustrating.

MacBook Air (2018 or later)

Trackpad unresponsive after user signin Hi there!. I am having trouble with my Macbook Air (13" early 2015) trackpad I updated to the recent Mac Os 12.0.1. After the update the trackpad became unrespnsive after every user sign in. Tried things like SMC reset etc. Even same occurs in safe mode. Kindly suggest appropriate solution.

Am I stuck with a too-sensitive trackpad? MacBook Air (M1, 2020): I love the machine, but I have already adjusted settings as much as I'm able and it's still too sensitive. If I don't take my fingers completely away from the trackpad as I use it, I often find new windows opening, dialog boxes popping up, ads getting clicked on, etc. Yes, I have gone into trackpard preferences several times and adjusted everything I can find that ought to help and it doesn't. Is it a mechanical problem that will need repair? Is there a plug-in that could help? It's a real nuisance!

Have you tried going to System Preferences > Trackpad and adjusting the sensitivity settings there yet? ... or System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad?
