Touch ID stopped working. I restarted my iMac (it's the latest M1 iMac) and Touch ID again started to work. After a few hours, it stopped working again.
I assume it is a Monterey software fault.
Anyone else experience this? Is there a fix?
Thanks.
For me, just turning off the wireless keyboard and turning it back on has worked.
Same thing happened to my new M1 iMac. Also-touch ID isn’t responding.
same.
I have the exact same issue.
Turning the keyboard off worked for me/. Thank you.
Thank you. However, an earlier very simple solution of turning off the keyboard and restarting it worked for me on the first try.
Same problem here, and turning the keyboard off and on does nothing
Same for me with M1 Mac. On/off fix does not work. Also in system preferences > users & groups nothing in the menu pertaining to finger print login.
This just started happening after I updated to Monterey 12.1 a few days ago. It also will not let me add a new fingerprint. I am stumped.
#2, rebooting the keyboard's Bluetooth, worked for me - thanks!
Turning off and on my keyboard worked on my M1 iMac just now. If it fails again I'll add something but so far so good:). Thanks for the easy (so far!) fix.
What do you do if you don't have a wireless keyboard?
Touch ID won't allow me to add a new ID. I deleted my original one. I forced quit and now my keyboard is working again. So many problems with Monterey!
I've been able to solve my issue with this by making sure that the keyboard is kept charged; when the charge falls below a certain level, the keyboard still works but the Touch ID does not.
