You do not really explain the extend of the issue here—
>System Preferences>TouchID verify you have checked the boxes that apply to your needs.
Please note: there are a few instances where Touch ID will not be accepted by macOS:
• If you restarted your Mac, or if you're not logged into your user account.
• If you have not unlocked your Mac for 48 hours.
• If you are trying to unlock Security & Privacy
• If you are trying to unlock Users & Groups Preferences (when FileVault is on)
• If 5 wrong fingerprints attempts
