Update 11.2.3 broke Touch ID on my MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)

Yesterday I've installed new update to Big Sur and now I have to log in only using password. Log page shows "use password or touch id" but second stopped working. I've reset the finger settings.. did not helped.

Is there any way to fix this? Or revert to previous update?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.1

Thank you NguyenNguyenNhat. My touch ID was not responding at all. I couldn't set up a new fingerprint because my Mac would not register that I was setting my finger on the touch ID. I unplugged the charger and touch ID works again. I did not have this problem until I updated MacOS Big Sur last night. I'm glad I can at least use my touch ID again, but it sounds like some sort of bug Apple will need to fix.
