Touch ID set up problem

When I try to set up a Touch ID on my macbook pro, it asks for my password, but then nothing happens when I enter it. I've tried to search this up but can't find anything. I know that if you enter your password, there should be a pop-up that makes you set up the touch id, but nothing pops up. I've also tried to restart my macbook. This happened after I updated my computer for MacOS Big Sur 11.1, if that helps anything.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.1
