Touch ID Not Working

After I updated my MacBook Air to Big Sur, I am no longer able to use my Touch ID. I've tried restarting my computer several times, but nothing happens when I click "Add Fingerprint."

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1

  1. Reset SMC by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset SMC. If that does not solve things then-
  2. Reset NVRAM/PRAM by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset NVRAM/PRAM. See whether this resolved the Add Fingerprint issue.
