why touch Id not working after updating to MACOS BIG SUR
MacBook Pro with Touch Bar
Hi Ogikolo,
I have no solution, but can add to the topic:
I also have Touch ID and Account Password issues.
After installing macOS 11.1 over 10.15 on a MBP 15" 2018 with i9, 32Gb & 2TB.
1) Touch ID stopped working (I can log into the computer only by entering the password)
2) In System Preferences > Touch ID the option "Unlocking your Mac" is unchecked (before installing Big Sur, it was checked, and worked).
3) Going to System Preferences > Users & Groups, or Security & Privacy or the Date & Time preferences, the panel needs to be unlocked to make changes. But, after clicking on the lock icon, a password-entry dialog appears, the User Name is pre-filled, the password is not accepted.
It appears that the operation of the T2 chip is disturbed. Thank god I can log in to my Mac using my password.
This disturbs me very much so I'm gonna push this wherever I can

Hi Jubber56,
I was advised to do this:
How to reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac
and I think this was what solved the issue in my case.
I suggest you should also give it a try.
After installing Big Sur my touch ID no longer works and I am asked for a password for every action
