MacBook Pro M1 Touch ID "Authentication Canceled"

Just received my new MacBook m1 pro/max. Trying to set everything up and when I go to input my fingerprint a window pops up that says "authentication canceled". Starting to get real annoying having to put my password into everything (especially since I'm in the setup phase). Ideas?


MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
