[MacBook 2019] Touch ID not letting me add fingerprint!

I just updated to Big Sur and now my Touch ID does not appear at the login screen. I deleted my old fingerprint and now can't add a new one.

I tried so many different things, but resetting my SMC did the trick: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295.

Here's another helpful article: https://pdf.wondershare.com/pdf-editor-mac/fix-touch-id-not-working-on-macbook-pro.html.

Hope this helps!
