Hello BrownEagle420! Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.


We understand that Touch ID is missing from Settings for your iPhone 8. We'd like to look into this with you to see how we can help.


Let's check to see if Content & Privacy Restrictions in Screen Time is preventing them from being available. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Passcode Changes, let's make sure this is set to 'Allow'.
