I recently bought an M1 MacBook Pro and I love it, but I do not understand why Touch ID doesn't work to unlock the computer after powering the computer on. It works in all other situations but I have to enter my password when I first power the computer on. If Touch ID works when waking the computer, making purchases online, auto-filling passwords, etc., why not when I power the computer on?

This is normal.
There are a few instances where Touch ID will not be accepted by macOS:

Thanks. I assumed it was something like but it seemed a little odd. In the end, it's not a big deal to me either way.
Is Touch ID supposed to work when powering on MacBook?
